Do whatever the heck you wanna do, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Define and hone a purpose for *yourself*, if you like, because there is no overall purpose, no grand scheme, no Gods, and *no* other supernatural at all.

Getting married and breeding babies is the quickest way to lose every cent of the wealth you amass. The world has too many children. If you must raise one, then adopt one. As for marriage, it is a primitive institution based upon the ridiculous notion that women are property to be transferred from the father's household to the husband's household...you don't believe that, do you? There are no shoulds in life, only choices. If you need some kind of guideline, one of the best I've ever read is, "Harming none, do as you will." As long as you aren't hurting yourself, others, or the planet; do what you want. Life is short and dead is permanent...you'd better enjoy yourself while you can. As for amassing wealth, it's only useful to the extent that you are enjoying your life. If you're working all the time for wealth, then you are wasting your time. No job will ever truly pay you the value of your time. Try making lists, such as the top 10 things you most want to do or the top 10 places you want to go or even the top 10 accomplishments you'd like to achieve. Armed with these lists, you should reach a good idea of how much money you need to earn and how you'd like to spend your time while you're still alive to enjoy it.

Have you met any elderly person who has not married and don’t have a family of their own? Many such people will behave as if they have missed something in this life. Even if they have got all wealth and luxurious life, they couldn’t enjoy it fully. You can verify this on your own. As the world is becoming more materialistic, people tend to think having huge wealth means less problems in life. Actually the converse is what is happening. Wealthy people cant sleep peacefully for 8 hours a day. You see any street beggar who don’t even where & when will be his next food. This beggar will sleep with more peace than the wealthy person. You can see around you to see if my statement is true or not. Also man cant live in this world without problems. If he gets whatever he wants he will perish. That is why communism cant flourish beyond a limit. Find out the answers for who are you? What is the purpose of your life? Where are you going to go from here? Then you will find answer to your question. You can refer my answers also on this issue.

Marrying in no way is raring a family!. It is building a bridge of bondage between two different families. Wealth is needed to live and keep the family satisfied and happy but that does not meen amassing of wealth is the purpose of life. One should work to earn his livlihood and the wealth will automatically follows depending on the volume of his work and efficiency within the frame of sincereity and honesty. When he feels he is capable of maintaining a family he can marry as per his choice and remaining will follow naturally.

Marry, in order to enjoy the conjugal pleasure.
Rear the family, which is the price you pay for the pleasure.
Earn wealth to sustain the said family.
These are the conditions and duties of the Grihasta.

You should do what you do best. Some people are suited for raising children. Some aren't. If you aren't the type to have kids, maybe you are the type to devote your life to science and find a cure for cancer. Or maybe you can be heavily involved in charity and help tons of people. If you work with your talents, you will have a satisfying life.

the purpose of this life is to realize humanity.
realizing humanity is reflected as being resolved in all dimensions of living, being prosperous (which is different from accumulating money), being fearless, and realize co-existence with everyone and everything.
humanity is realized by understanding existence expressed as coexistence.
humanity alone can give the basis for having a family.

You should do whatever makes you happy. But, keep in mind, money alone cannot share love later in life. Look at some of the (financially) richest people in the world......they are always watching their backs, and the people they have to employ. And quite often, they aren't really sure if their loved ones love them for themselves, or if they are only in love with their financial success. Money is nice, and can buy your security, but it can't provide happiness.

Well it's not my job to judge, but I would think that to take the wealth would be incredibly greedy and not looked highly upon by God. By starting a family and giving of yourself may provide great rewards in the future.
