[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Realistically, about 32 to 35.

It takes that much time to earn an advanced degree (which we expect) and also to really establish their career and save.[/quote]

Why can’t you get an advanced degree, establish a career, and save after getting married?

If anything it’s easier—there is someone else to support you and balance workloads at home while you handle working + school, and having a built in roommate in a spouse makes saving simple.[/quote]

I know far too many who “put their advance degree on hold” due to the birth of a child, but never re-started their educations.[/quote]
And I know many who put marriage/children "on hold" due to advanced degrees, but never ended up actually getting married or having a kid. What's your point[/quote]

This^. And many built great lives without advance degrees or later get it. Bottom line, it can be after finishing all the higher education one can get in life time and advancing career and building a sizable nest-egg OR those things can overlap and be shuffled to suit your preferences and it can be done with a loving, compatible and supportive partner who is also independently pursuing her/his goals.

Children are a bigger responsibility so postponing that until 30 makes sense but if money and family support is available, there is no need to delay and risk infertility.

Assuming a person wants advance education, marriage, kids etc. If they don't, there is no issue to begin with.
