I want to travel, have fun and live a little, but I don't want to end up too old when I have a family, I want to live long enough to see them grow :) What are your own opinions for yourself?

Sounds like you want to do other things first, I wouldn't wait until you are 35 ( there are more complication the larger you wait). I would do what you want for now then have kids when you think the time is right. You will be a better parent if you have fun when you wanted to and not thing that you are tried down with the responsibility of kids before you are ready for it.

The best time for a person to settle down and have children is different for everybody. God sometimes decides for us. If everyone waited for what they consider the "right" time for them to settle down and have children, the human race would have died out a long time ago. My first child was not planned but is the best thing that happened to me. When I found out that I was pregnant I looked at my life and saw the need for change and it was for the best. I have no regrets about having her.

Whenever you are financially stable, are with a man who would be a good father to them, are ready to start a new stage in life (meaning that you've done all you've wanted to do as a single person), but before you are too old to have children. Well, at least, that's when I would have children and settle down.

I had planned 28-29...but got pregnant at 24. I think when you are financially stable, stable with the person you want to really procreate with-think about that very hard, this is the person whose genes your baby will share, and already have an outlined idea of what values you want to instill, then go for it...and good luck. You can plan your life, but nothing ever turns out as you expect..

My husband and I got married when i was very young, a teenager in fact. That's what we wanted. It worked for US. :)
Now we have a son who is 2, and he is the light of our lives. I would not trade anything. My life right now is just the way i want it.
Aslo, the way I see it as far as traveling... The few places that I can't take my son, I don't worry about. When I'm 40, he'll be 20! I'll have most of my life ahead of me. :)
It's all up to you, I just thought you should hear a positive response as far as getting married and havin kids young. But it really is what you feel comfortable with :)
Cheers

I would say by 30, but it really depends on the person.
The reason I think that is because once you get older it is more likely that you may have complications trying to get and being pregnant. I also think about my kids growing up and I don't want to be too old or die before being able to experience things like their graduation, getting married and having kids themselves.

Settle down... You have to be mature enough to take that step. Marriage and kids will sure help you mature. Age has to do with maturity, but older people are not necessary more mature than younger people.
Maturity is a state of mind, a decision.
There are some things that people decide to do before having kids, and then, they can conceive, and then women are 40 and men are tired.
If you wait too much, you will have to wait until your friends can find a babysitter to go out, and that is great because they are so attach and you are so free.
If you wait too much, you will have to wait until you find a babysitter to go out, wile your friends send the grandchildren presents for Xmas.
Lesson: when you are young you have more energy to raise kids and enjoy your grandchildren wile still young and strong, but you also have more energy to build a fortune and travel. It is a decision you will have to make on your own.
Merry Xmas.

I am 22 right now, I have been with my girl for 4 years now. We are gettin married in July 2008 God Willing. And we plan to have a baby when we're 25. So I believe 25 is a good age to start thinking about all that stuff.
I dont wanna be a burden on my kids, so I hope I die by 65
