Age

Re: Age

haha.. okay so how is having a bunch of money already saved up before you have kids not better than having to put aside money while they grow up? you don't need a financial advisor to decide which is the better option. :)

haha... the irony is killing me.

lol.. you did no such thing.

Re: Age

back in the 1930s, a very eligible relative of mine married a woman who was 8 years older than him. He didn't know that before, and found out only after he had fallen in love with her. my nani tells me with great pride that his mother and sisters threatened him with everything under the sun, but he would simply reply" i love her now"
:D

Re: Age

Saving money takes time. Just to make sure the discussion is not on born rich or very high earning family.
Neither I am talking about exceptions like my neighbor/professor/Paan Ki Dukaan wala!

Small amount saved over time is more common situaion for most families. College funds are among those.

You save money over time, when you are young, your health insurance and life insurance is at lower rate and while children are growing, you end up accruing a good amount of money already when they are ready to marry or go to college.

When one marries late. And starts late in the game of saving for children, one has to put down more money in kids account in order to get to the level where one wants to be.

No kids, no account, no saving.

There is no magic, time is precious and maybe the only thing which makes difference in people’s financial future since growth of money takes time.

This is free advise for public service by the way. :hehe:

Now!

When you say something which makes sense. Will discuss further.

P.S. I assume, none of this is applicable to you and you are just jumping up and down for no real reason. :smiley:

Re: Age

Women don't age faster, but men do have it easier in terms of maintaining appearances as they get older. And the pregnancy issue is the big one. It's been like that for years. No matter how far we advance in medical science or how much feminazis wanna complain, the best time to start a family is in your twenties and early thirties.
