There is no right answer for this , Everyones different some people get married and have kids when they are 18 and some when they are 40, But I will say this if you really want to have kids, I'd step it up, because after you're mid-30's the chances of you having an unhealthy baby goes up. How far up... I don't know.

ASAP - the older you are the hard it is to change the habits that you have developed over a life time. I was 35 when I got married and after nine years the adjustment process is still hard for me. I think if I had married earlier it would have been better. Also, in terms of kids and especially women, it is much harder to have children after 30 - and the chances drop signicantly each year after thirty. All that said do not marry just anyone. Marriage is hard work and you want the right partner for the journey.

Who says a woman has to be engaged or get married or have kids at all? Society makes you think you have to do this or you are strange or something of an old maid. You should only get married and have kids if that is what you truly want. But if you want to, yes you should try to find a man if you don't have one. Kids are for the young, you don't have patience when you get older, believe me.

Whenever the hell you want.
Don't let statistics or the desire to be like everyone else stop you from doing what you want to do.
Maybe you have not met the right person yet. Maybe you never will. I have news for you: that is better than marrying a jerk and ending up trading false allegations of child abuse in a bitter custody battle.
Having kids is a HUGE deal. Don't do it to fit in. If you have extra love to give, volunteer at Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
Live your life the way YOU want to, not the way a society of fools says you should.

If you plan to get married at some point in your life, yes, now is the time. The older you get, the less choice you have as there is less men to pick from. And the older you get, the more dangerous it gets to give birth. So, if a husband and kids are in your plan, you should get busy and do it now.

Whenever you feel like settling down is the time. I was 29 when I got married, 31 when I had my first child. I actually hadn't even thought of getting married/kids but met my future wife and everything changed.

When you meet the right person you will know if you are ready for marriage. However, the older you get the more complications you could have with pregnancy. But you can't push things because then you won't be happy. That is the most important thing!

You have to do what is right for you. If you are focusing on your career right now, there may be no hurry for you to get married or have children. Or maybe you are just not ready to settle down at this exact moment, or haven't met the right person to do this with.

NO!!!! When it is right for you then you should think about it. As far as kids are concerned that should happen naturally when its time.
If you start thinking about it you will rush into something that is not right and would you want to bring a child into that.
