My aunt is 65 and just diagnosed with dementia :(

You aren’t guaranteed to get old and still be with it. Best to have your kids early and retire early if you can when you can still enjoy your life.[/quote]

Hold on there, missie:).

I met my husband when we were 25--and it was a whirlwind!  We partied HARD.  We traveled all around the world (first class too with frequent flier miles from his business).  We were in Europe for weeks several times a year and we even took a sabbatical to basically just party for 6 months: Berlin nightclubs, all night raves in Barcelona, the tomato festival, run with the Bulls, you name it.  We were out to dinner in fancy restaurants with our couple friends and we all often traveled together--skiing in Montana, etc.

SO--we had 7 years to really travel while we were in the prime of our life..and they had kids at 35 and 37.  Our kids are now teens in high school and we will be 55-56 when they graduate, but we still do cross-fit, lift weights, hike, bike, ski, run, etc., can beat people half our age in exercise classes.

I wanted to travel young too when I wouldn't look out of place in a nightclub, seeing the world through the eyes of a younger person.  Travel in your 20s/early 30s is much different at 50/60/70.  Both are great, but I'm glad my spouse did all of that traveling young before kids...and will do it again in 4 years (we still travel with the kids a lot, but their sports/activities make it less so).[/quote]
