This may sound ridiculous, but I'm 21 years old. I have another year before I get my bachelor's degree. Recently I asked myself what's really important to me and the only answer I came up with was family. I come from divorced parents and I grew up with my mom. I realize that there is nothing more important to me than starting a family and keeping it together (does this seem more like an entry in a diary? lol.) I don't think I can honestly say I've been in love before. I thought I was in love once but I realize now that the girl was just playing head games with me. In any case, is love required for a good marriage? A friend told me recently that the heart dies when we get older. Is this true? It looks like I have an oppurtunity on Wall Street after college. A thought occured to me to try to buckle down for a few years and put away some money so that I can support a wife and children someday and have more time to spend. Is this a good idea?

Unfortunately you're a little too young for me, but I've gotta tell ya, with an attitude like that, you're every romantic girls fantasy!
I wish you luck my friend!

Your thinking is accurate! It is so hard to have a family, and build a career at the same time. Start with the career, get your finances straight, and the rest will take care of itself eventually. There's no rush. You have plenty of time to find that special person--the one that you will be able to make happy if you are more mature and financially stable.
