Like you said earlier, we all have different circumstances, right? I honestly don't care when people have kids, that's their business. What I do know is that it worked for me. Of course it wasn't always easy but who says life is? I can say without a doubt that I am glad that I had mine younger. Does that make you wrong for having them later, absolutely not. I wish you well
damn, took a while to get to this point for us both. Same to you.

i just know too many people who had children waaay too young and everyone’s fricked up.
So we impose a ridiculous law because people make poor choices?
Individuals mature at different rates. How many people in older generations got married at 18, and stayed married and had perfectly normal families?
This problem you speak of has more to do with a lack of responsibility for one's own actions than it does with age. People don't take responsibility for their choices, and run away when things get tough.

another "having kids" question: why do people (typically low to mid 20s) get married and them IMMEDIATELY spit out a kid?
Maybe they have already been together for a long time before marriage and have done all the "couple" things they wanted to do?

didn't have the first till I was 35, there are pros and cons
Agree. We had our son when I was 30. He's 15 now. We play bball, golf, and mountain bike together. I'm still young enough to do those things. I enjoy every single moment out there with him.
Couldn't imagine having a kid and me being too old to enjoy outdoor activities with him.

pretty important to take even better care of yourself if you have kids later on so that you can still do the things you listed well into your 50s and 60s
my wife's dad is 60, and is in great health. Makes everyone go for runs and bike rides when we visit. He's awesome.

Had my last 1 at 30 so at 48/49 mine will be graduated and then I can concentrate on my hobbies and travel.
Kids in my 20’s kept me from blowing all my money on stupid stuff

Child support makes it easy to quantify how much chirrens cost.
I will have paid $396k in just Child support(not counting tuition, braces, etc) over 18 yrs by 2027.
Totes worth it to have kids who love me and not have to deal with their mothers on the reg.

Until you are fully committed to raising your own kids, don't do it.
Some are ready for that commitment at a young age.
Some might wait or might not meet that significant other until later in life.
It does change your life forever and just when you get to that age you think you have life figured out, kids have a way of turning your world upside down.

Plus, still having kids at home in your late 40’s and 50’s will keep you young.
Living with a 2-3 year old takes several years off of your life.
Being woken up every night by a baby doesn’t exactly help with the aging process either.

What in the actual frick?
I love threads started about kids by 20somethings without kids. You THINK you have an idea how it all works. Now take all those ideas and forget them. Your ideal bullshite with kids will NEVER happen.
I waited until i was 30 to have kids because i just wanted to be free and get the partying and dating out of my system before i settled down. No way was I mature enough to have a child in my 20s.

I don’t understand why people are so judgmental of couples who don’t have kids. I see these 19 year old kids walking around the store with toddlers and they look absolutely miserable. I’m also pretty sure the younger you have kids the more likely you are going be impoverished. I’d say 30-35 is the best age.
Causation does not equal correlation.
Making bad decisions, like having an unexpected kid, means you're a bad decision maker. The kid isn't the reason you're poor, it's the bad decision making altogether.
If you're a good decision maker, and you have a child young that you actually planned, then you'll be fine down the road.
