Alright. Maybe idiot was too strong a word then. Immature, sure. Heck, I didn't grow up until I hit my early 30s. It actually surprises me that more football players don't wreck their lives, considering 30 is old.

The advantage to the first choice is that you free up from age 45 on - the advantage to the second choice is that you will more than likely be financially secure.

were all married in our 20's. (parents were in their teens) Only 1 divorce.

Everyone struggles in some way or another. If you are alive you will have struggles. Some monetarily, some who don't have worries about money (like Jolly) have other issues.

You don't have to wait till your 30. And no matter what age you are you will struggle. My secretary waited. Got married in her mid 30's now discovered that she can not have children. her body changed too soon. I sometimes bet she wishes they married sooner. (They were together for 3-4 years before getting married.) That is one of their struggles.

I watched my brother get married at 19 cause he knocked up his girlfriend. He has had 3 wives, 3 children and is now on his own and alone.

I kind of regret not having my first child until I was 33. Now I'm going to be that old, fat, bald guy at his kid's high school graduation. I do not regret a minute of my twenties though. I was not mature enough for a family and knew it. I chose to have a lot of fun instead.
