what do you think is a good age to have kids?

in all honesty. and say the situation is perfect (like if you're married already or don't choose marriage to have kids). Really want to get a feel where everyone stands

i never really gave it a real thought but i would say maybe around 28 or 29

I can't really say. It's difficult because I went to an alternative high school, and there were a lot of young moms. They were incredibly dedicated parents, and did more for their kids than some 30 year olds I know. That kinda gave me a disjointed view. I would guesstimate somewhere in the 20's though. lol

Depends IMO if your from a very wealthy family that can easily sustain a few children/grandchildren I'm all for having children very young in your life. Take my cousin for example her side of the family doesn't have to worry about money ever, so she went and had her child (a daughter) at barely 16. So now shes 34 and her kid is grown and going to college and she's off stealing one of her daughters boyfriends (they are both extremely attractive). However if your in the tax bracket I am where we work every day to make rent/bills/anime habits I'd suggest waiting until you have the financial ability to support a child with a decent education and lifestyle so you can invest in your child's future so they can be even more successful when your older and then they can support you when your old and grey, which is something my parents never understood. They tended to fit into the catagory of "Lets wait and have them in the mid-late 20's/early 30's once we've "settled" and have stable jobs (regardless of how much we can provide for the next 10-15 years). However down to earth and sensible this may seem, don't believe it. It's a trap that can leading to lower middleclass-poverty for you and your children! lol Have them very early or very late, IMO this way your not going to grow old and be dependent on your children like my parents thought they could be with me and my brother. Younger means you can still provide for them well after they are into college/adulthood since your decently young yourself (yes it means giving up a good portion of your young adult life to make sure they are fed/taken care of so i suggest it for more well-off family structures) or have them after you've saved enough from working (if your a lower-middleclass man like me) You can then invest in your childs future and don't have to worry so much about needing them for help later on.

If you can't/can barely support yourself by yourself(without asking family/welfare/etc), it goes without saying that you should not have children. It all comes down to financial stability. Even with a partner. If they can barely support themselves by themselves, they should not have children.

I have to say late twenties since by then you would have a job and become stable with most finances figured out.
