I am already married but i would like to give my two cents on the issue. I got married at the age of 30 not because it was the age i thought was the right age to marry. But the real reason why I married at that age, is because that was the time when I was prepared financially and emotionally to do so.:)

Considering what I have planned in my life, I don't have any intentions of settling down until I'm at least thirty.. maybe thirty-five.
I want to study abroad, work abroad in foreign countries.. I want to go to graduate school, get a second degree.. I want to get a nice job, and pay off my student debts, and continue to travel in the meantime. So yeah, it'll be a while before I seriously start to worry about being settled down.
I know that sounds really late for starting a family, but if I ever want kids I'm planning on adopting anyway, so the kid's health wouldn't be at risk due to me or my partner starting a family later on in life.

Hi! thats a great idea, a practical one, but you don't want to have a children of your own, from your flesh and blood?

No, I'll leave the flesh and blood children to my older sister. Besides, there are more than enough children already out there in the world that need love and attention. Why would I add even more to that already existing amount? As I said, I don't have much of a maternal instinct, and I may not even adopt. But if I ever wanted children, that is what I'd prefer to do.

Everyone can marry anytime... ops... but that's not that easy... you should prepared in all aspects of life, you should prepare emotionally, physically, spiritually and most of all financially.... getting married is not an easy thing, one single wrong move will affect your whole life.
Before when i was at my college days i give myself a target on what age i'll be having my own family, but as the years passed by im getting closer on that age but still those things that i should be prepared of (emotionally, physically and financially) are not attained, it makes me feel dissapointed and frustrated, i used to ask my self why? the point there is "There is no such things as what age is your plan to settle down" but "When is the time to settle down".
