But I think that you seem to have a lot of passion for life and the need that you feel to explore and taste life it's all because of that and I belive that one day you'll have the kind of life that you wish because you are starting now and you take the chance and its not easy but it's worth it. I wish the best for you. Hi,

i want to thank you for writing this post, for me it was amazing, I’m 27 and i feel exactly the same way about “what you suppose to have or do when you have 27 ( in my case) ” of course besides my personal expectations , i love the part when you say, its time for me to explore because that will help me to become into the person i want to be in the future, that’s exactly how I think and feel, and sometimes its horrible when people don’t get it because they seem to be moving and living in a different world. But I think that you seem to have a lot of passion for life and the need that you feel to explore and taste life it’s all because of that and I belive that one day you’ll have the kind of life that you wish because you are starting now and you take the chance and its not easy but it’s worth it.
I wish the best for you.

We were ready to put 20% down on a house, but started talking about kids and yes...we're ready, but maybe in a year or two. We decided - just this weekend, mind you - that ownership of a home will come at the expense of certain freedoms like travel, and yes..children. If we buy a house, we will have to wait to have kids. If we rent a townhome, however, we can make that decision without the financial pressure of needing to pay the mortgage. It was also reassuring to run the "rent vs. own" calculators and see that we're not loosing money by renting. I think we're all sold this load of bull that buying a home is an investment and paying rent is throwing money away and that is not always the case. Now all we have to do is make peace with our plan and truly enjoy these "married without children years". Maybe it will give you comfort to know I am in the EXACT SAME SITUATION as you.

I am 28 and my husband is 31. I am married but ALL of my married friends have started having 1st, 2nd and even 3rd babies! I'm not sure I ever want children and worry what that will mean for my husband (who wants children sometime in the future) and I. I also do believe that people say it's rewarding and the best thing that I'll do in my life. I'm just not sure that I want to do it. I love my dog and she's good enough for me. I really understand what you're going through and I feel ya. I feel this way all the time. I am 28 and my husband is 31.
