I am in my mid-late 20's, unmarried. The thing I worry about with marriage/kids is the economics of the whole thing. I don't have a super high earning career, ....pretty much average. It seems nowadays most families must have both parents working to live comfortably, and from what I can tell it looks like a hectic lifestyle, logistically. Go, go, go 24/7. I like my freedom and down time you know?
Some lady at work said she pays like $600/month on daycare. I nearly $hit a brick! Friends of mine who are pregnant keep telling me how expensive all the baby supplies are..........they are not helping!
Maybe the key is to space your kids out by 5 years or so, so you are not paying mega costs for everything at the same time. I don't know, I am definately gun shy about the whole thing.
