what age is a good age?

Hello, I'm new here. I'm also newly Engaged as well. The weddings' set for 2011. 

I was wondering, if i'm 27 now, when is a right time to really think about adding a new addition to the family? we've discussed finances as well as buying a house within the next two years (hopefully) I don't want to be to young, nor too old? Any advice? Thanks.

There is no perfect age.  It depends on each individual relationship.  The maturity, the stability, the finances, etc.

When you are ready. When you husband is ready. and not a moment before.

Children are WONDERFUL,but a lot of work and can at times, strain a marriage and definitely dip into the savings. 

I was 30 when I got married. My husband was 36. He is 39 with a 1 year old and is THANKFUL everyday that he waited as long as he did to settle down. I am thankful I waited to become a Mom. 

But everyone is different.

congrats on the engagement - the answer you will find here is that there is no 'perfect age' and that only you and your fiance can make that decision as to when you feel ready.  Talk to each other, weigh out all the options and make sure you are both on the same page - whatever age that happens at will be the right age for you.  Good luck!

LOL No, I promise it is not.

To the OP - having a baby is not an "age" thing, it is a matter of when you and your DH are both ready to start a family. Unless you are in your 50s or something.

It's a personal choice... I think 30 is a great age to start.  BUT it's different in different parts of the contry.   I'll be 29 when we have our daughter (god willing) and I think that's  a great age too.

Don't get so caught up on the number...

It depends on you and your relationship with DH and your financial situation.  Internet strangers cannot tell you when you have a baby.

26 is a good age. I'm sorry to tell you, but you missed it by a year.
