age isn't so as important as the finances. anyone that is living paycheck to paycheck is not financially responsible enough to bring a child into the world

First of all you should be marriage before you even consider having children. There is no "right" age to get married. Everyone matures differently. When both parents have a steady income, home, and have a plan or plan for the future, and can afford a child, they should have kids.

I don't know if there is any one right age but i think that you should wait until you are mature enough to think about everything that marriage entails. I got married when i was eighteen and i wasn't even out of highschool. I got pregnant when i was nineteen and let me tell you it is not very easy to do all of this at such a young age. Me and my husband broke up three times and the last time we came very close to getting a divorce. I am only twenty-one now and I would have to say that i wish i would have waited until i was about twenty-five when i got married and older then that when i started having children.

Wait until you are at least 25 and out of college. Have a bit of independence before getting married. As for a child, wait at least 3 - 4 years after getting married. It will give you and your honey to REALLY get to know each other and have that "Special" bonding, growing, and knowing the "real" person.

I would say when she is ready and mature. Todays statistics show that women marry at an older age than A generation ago and are haveing their babies later in life. I would attribute this to the fact that many women have carreers.

it think you can get married at any age over 18 as long as you find someone you are in love with.
and being ready to raise a child has NOTHING to do with age. as long as you are mature and have the money and the loving home you can have a child.

28 is the best time to get married and 30 for kids. This way your partying days are coming closer to being a fond memory, and you can now focus on more important things.

A.) At least between 21 and 26. Most people are not ready before then (still in school, don't have jobs, not mature enough, etc).
B.) 21

As a woman who had a child when she was 19, I would say, 25 years old.

A) probably after 21 at least, so you can get your party on, but it all depends on the person you meet...
B) when you're ready, done with school, steady income, solid relationship, home etc. (maybe 24+... had mine at 21... too early)
