[quote=Anonymous] It really depends on: 1. Your health, that of your partner, and healthy longevity on both sides of the family. Longevity is partly inheritable, but of course that doesn't count, if your parents lived their lives as vegetables for 20 years because of dementia (as my grandparents did). You never know how much help and support a child will need - they could have special needs - so you need to plan to be active at least through their young adult life. 2. Your finances. Are you able to do this, with college costs increasing quicker than inflation, and manage your retirement? In my case, I'd love to have a baby at 40+, but I don't fulfill either 1 or 2. [/quote]
