I think age is irrelevant. I think that when you are financially set and with someone who you love and you both agree on it...THEN is the right time.. be patient.

There is no right or wrong time to get married or start a family, and if everyone waited for the ideal time (i.e. financially stable etc.) there wouldn't be half as many babies being born in the World. Are you in a relationship? If so, have you discussed this with your partner. If you are not and are going to be broke and unable to provide for your baby and yourself sufficiently, I would definately wait until you are in a position to do so, as it would be selfish to bring a child into the World that may then be deprived just because you would like to have a baby. How do you see your future? I take it you don't want a Career or have any ambitions to Travel or Socialise and experience life a little? Or do you want to wait for these things until after your child has grown up? At least you are thinking of the consequences, otherwise you wouldn't have posed this question on here. Wishing you Good Luck, and I do hope you make the right decision in the end, and that will only be down to you ;-)

you should be responsible in whatever decision you make

I don't think anyone should start a family until they are emotionally mature and financially secure. Any child born into the overpopulated of today, with all the war and strife going on is going to need as much of an advantage as possible just to start out with. The responsible time for a person to start a family is not age related, but instead, should come with the maturity needed to provide for a stable family life.

I think you should wait until you are financially stable before you decide to take a big leap. Are you in a relationship? Are you in a relationship with someone you can trust to be a good father and stick with you? You have to consider all of this. When you are ready you'll know it. But until than wait until the best time. Be logic. Dont just run into something if you know or suspect you can't handle it.

I think you should wait until you (both) are at LEAST out of college. I know people who've not and made it, but I've also known people who didn't wait, and didn't make it. (And don't think "That won't be me!) Might I suggest you work with kids? Volunteer at the hosptial or charity that works with babies/kids. Get a better understanding of what having one of your own would be like. And it might help ease your urgent urge.

I think you should wait until after marrige, or decide to get married soon and have a job and be again- finacialy stable, its a lot of money to have a baby and u should have a stable relationship, so the baby has a good enviornment to grow up into.
