[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young weddings shortly after college are so romantic and gorgeous. Babies in your early or mid 20s, your body bounces back immediately. Young hot parents with two white collar incomes, working from home, quickly buying a nice big house. It ought to be the dream.[/quote]
no, that's my nightmare. I wanted to travel and do things and build my career.[/quote]

Why?  To what purpose?  In PP's dream both have jobs and are doing their career and most likely travel.  [/quote]
Have you tried traveling the world with little kids?

And it's also much harder to build your career when you have kids, especially for a woman who ends up doing most of the heavy lifting at home once the kids come.

That's why it's a "dream". It's not reality for most people.

I built my career and did some traveling prior to having kids. I also saved a ton of money and bought a house with a huge down payment, so our mortgage is low.  I don't have a mortgage noose around my neck like some do.

When I had kids, I was making much more than I was in my 20s, so the financial burden of having children wasn't as big.

I am now able to retire before 60.

How old are you people? [/quote]
