[quote=Anonymous]If you're ready now, don't "wait for the age." It's technically healthier to have kids younger (not TOO young, like in your teens, obviously). I think the advice to wait is just based on financial and personal issues like doing things for yourself beforehand, saving up money, etc. I had my first kid at 30 (almost 31). Honestly, I do wish I had him earlier, but it wouldn't have made a huge difference. I feel like a lot of the time I invested in my career has been wasted because of the interruption in my professional career (I chose to stay home for a few years), and I wish I had done this when it hadn't been interrupted (although I realize then I might not have been as lucky to get a job and move up the ladder). If you want more than one kid, definitely start thinking about it early, but these days, many people have kids quite a bit later. There's really no "good" answer -- just what works best for you.[/quote]
