It's too late! Seriously. The worst advice parents give to children, is to wait before settling down and having children. To wait for anything: having fun, studies, carrier, whatever the reason. On the contrary, parents should help children to get married and start making babies as soon as possible once they're adult. Because otherwise, as you mention it, you get to hear what's really like to have a family, and the more time passes, the more you come to realize what a crazy thing it would be, and the less you become inclined to do it. No, this is something that should be done before you come to your senses, while you're still a crazy young adult yourself! And also, while you still have the energy to have three lifes at the same time! Soldiers are sent to wars in their twenties. They shouldn't be sent there without having a wife and one or more babies already. Therefore people should marry very early, so they're ready to be sent to wars and be possibly killed, with their children already born! Economically, it makes also much more sense to have babies early. Imagine you have a son at 20, then you study till 24, start your business and develop it. 16 years later, your business has grown, like your 20 years old son, who can then start working with you in the family business. 20 years later, your grand-son is ready to start working with your and your son in your business, and you're not even thinking in retirement yet! So, you're 30. That's not too late, but I would say hurry, because soon you'll start to feel tired, and also it will become more and more expensive, for a guy, to find a woman in age of having babies about your same age: you will have to find younger and younger a woman, and this is expensive. (Despite menopause age being about 50 years old, women often cannot make healthy babies after 30 or 35 years old). So hurry! And good luck!
