By then, you should have a solid relationship/marriage (so less chance of becoming a single parent), and a good career, to provide for the child, as to not suck tax money from hard working people.
For example:
A family headed by a single parent can cost the tax payer nearly £6 million.
Since your other thread was closed before I could respond, I will post my response here:
My mom was 27, Dad was 24 when I was born. Like you, I am a college graduate-double major in accounting and management information systems, I work in a financial field (asst controller for a manufacturing company) and I drive a fully paid for BMW. Oh, and I own two houses.
Yeah, some burden on society I turned out to be.
My brother had two kids by the time he was 25. Why? He and my sister-in-law were in love and wanted to start a family. Times have not always been easy, but no one other than the two of them has ever provided financial support for my nephews.
My parents had two children (myself and my sister) while they were both under 30. My Dad had a great job and was making plenty of money and my mom stayed at home taking care of us. They never 'sucked any tax money' from hard working people as they supported themselves.
People have children when they're under 30 because they get pregnant and birth them. Simple.
Because younger people think they will be together forever and need a child to cement the bond. Of course a big lie and most of these relationships fail. What really disturbs me is most of these births are out of wedlock and on welfare so we pay for their stupidity.
Btw I was born when my parents were 24 and 25 but it was a different time. Back then people married younger and were financially stable younger. Now is a different story.

You are probably the minority.

I've noticed all the wealthy couples I know don't have any children at all.
Why don't people make wiser choices?
Do you mean as in not creating such narrow minded threads?
Not everyone can get a good "career" as some work jobs all their life which, by no means should they be disqualified from having children.
Providing for a children encompasses much more than money and because the parents don't make six digit salaries mean the children are being short changed. It also doesn't mean they sucking tax money from hard working people.
it's true. & i agree but the reason is that they believe they're ready when they arent and they know the funds arent there. I know several individuals who are in their late teens (17-19) who are having/had kids. I know a girl whose 20 and has 3 already and another who is 21 and has 4 (2 hers, 2 from her husband's previous relationship). They just firmly believe they're ready to settle down when they aren't. They'll realize it in their future that they missed out on a s***load of stuff and regret it and then want to live it with their families. As much as i like family memories, this also adds to heavy spending and other issues within a family because they arent ready and (sometimes) results in divorce (usually amongst those in college or those who are married under the age of 24).

If they can't afford them they shouldn't have them.
