[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are happy with it, don’t worry about what other people are doing.

In my 20s I was having babies and working full time. I also owned my own home my age 25 and was maxing out my 401k by age 23.

I’m now 48 and have both kids off to college (one actually graduated last may). Since both DH and I work from home we travel so much and we each tag along on the others work trips. We’ve caught all the amazing snow Utah had been having this winter and probably skied a Tito’s of 20 days this season.

I love that fact that we planned well and have so much time now and money to enjoy life. Can’t really relate to the expensive dining out thing. I prefer a burger at a bar and a cold beer. [/quote]

I am your age, and we caught that same amazing Utah snow this season! However, I have to say that skiing in one's 20s without kids is way better than skiing in your 40s. I loved them young knees and hips :) So I lived, and I mean LIVED in my 20s and had my kids in my mid and late 30s. No right or wrong way, but this is how we chose to do it and it worked out really well for us. We also focused on our careers in our 20s and 30s and were big earners by the time the kids came. I quit to be a SAHM and DH is making enough to sustain a great lifestyle. I too love the fact that we planned and have time and money to enjoy life with our young kids now - just a different plan from yours. [/quote]
