I had a child at 24, have subsequently furthered my career through education and my income has increased to almost twice what it was when I first struck out on my own. Although I may have debt, we are by no means poor on any level. We are an extremely happy family and are not in want of anything. I couldn't live without my bubby! Remember that one's opinions can sometimes hurt the feelings of others.

Never said there was a perfect time. I said there is a difference between being in debt and being financially secure when you have children. Look, I'm sorry if my opinion hurts other people's feelings. I just say it like I see it.
