Advice from an older person here - don't wait until you are 30+ to start trying, if you want to have kids. You will all benefit from having more health and energy when under 30.

Sure health and energy are helpful when raising kids. But what about wisdom and perspective? I would think it really depends on the person and how prepared they feel with respect to having kids - mentally and physically.

Wisdom and perspective are not necessarily correlated with age.

Your second sentence is correct, each individual needs to judge roughly the right time based on mental,physical and financial situations.

For me there was never going to be a right time so I'm glad it happened when it did (29) as it's tiring and I want to have as much good health as I can to enjoy my children.

In my experience, Extreme sleep deprivation defeated any wisdom and perspective that I might have otherwise had.

As a 46yo with kids 7 & 3. I endorse this point of view. :)
