[quote=Anonymous]My 24 year old has three friends already married, one with a baby born about 10 months after the wedding. This set of friends tends to be more religious, so I think that's part of it, though my kid tells me there is a trend, at least among that group.

I'm not aware of any weddings in my 22 year old's group of friends who just graduated. Several of them are still trying to figure out their careers. My kid has a serious girlfriend but is embarking on a year of grad school and then CPA exams. The girlfriend also has grad school plans. No idea if they will even end up in the same city, though it wouldn't shock me if they ended up together.

I was 28 and my spouse was 30 when we married after meeting in grad school (gen x). I admit to being very skeptical when my nephew married his girlfriend right out of college - I thought they were too young. That was maybe five years ago and now have a young child and a house in a far-flung suburb where they could afford more space. They seem very happy as far as I can tell.

The older I get and more life experience I have, the more I have a live-and-let-live, good-luck-to-them and best-wishes perspective. There's more than one path to a happy life.[/quote]
