What is people's opinion on marriage? Marry early in their 20's or later and if later how late?
I notice high achievers and competitive people tend to weigh all their options before getting themselves into something. All my friends in non-finance are already literally tying the knot and getting married. My finance bros are literally holding it out as they want to play the game longer. To them as they age and accumulate more wealth, more options start to open up and they recognize that, but they also recognize that timing is everything.
So, how did you guys decide when to tie the knot? At what age did you guys start to think about finding that significant other? Hooking up and having girlfriends on and off can get old. What made you settle down?
Currently 22 and can’t see myself marrying anytime soon. If I had to give you a range it would probably be early to mid 30’s. But I have people in my family who waited until 40’s and are very happy from what I can tell. Personally, that’s a bit too long but seems okay for some. I’m not really into the whole men get better as they age line of thinking (though it might hold some weight). I just don’t want the burden of a wife + kids in my 20’s.
The reality is that this will always come down to a conversation between you and your significant other. From my experience between my relationships and from those of my peers, women usually look/prefer to have kids in their late twenties, early thirties. Having kids is something that women think of meticulously relative to men, so most of the time your significant other that you're serious about will likely already have made up a timeframe for when she wants to have kids.

The optimal age is for a 40-45 years old guy to marry a 18-22 years old woman
Why would you want to deal with young kids in your late 40s
My parents were 44 and 46 when they had me.
I disagree.
The fervor with which you seek validation through WSO and - I assume - a host of other outlets begs to differ.
I got married at 22. Wife was 20. I'm 29 now. We have a 2-year-old. I would not recommend getting married young to anyone tbh. AMA
I didn’t get married young and you don’t recommend getting married young. I think we are on the same page.
Not even sure you’re still on this app anymore, but would you have rather waited to get financially/life established after college before getting married? Have a great GF right now and trying to make this decision.
