re: How old were you when you had your last kid?

We’re having the same conversations. Wife and I had first kid at 24, second at 27. Turn 29 this year. Have a boy and a girl. We love the balance of 2 as you can always make it a 1 kid to 1 parent ratio, but we like the idea of 3 kids as they grow older, especially if they stay close into adulthood.

That said, the whole have kids out of the house by late 40’s thing is great. My parents were that way. They grinded when we were kids, but are young enough to enjoy the fruits of their labor now at a relatively energetic and healthy age.
