I am 25 years old this year. I think this is the right time for me to plan for my future including my marriage and future family. But my problem is I never feel that I am a grown up yet. There are too much things to think about which make me really confused and don't know which one should come first. Any experienced of you,please kindly give some advice,thanks.

I think the first consideration in building up a family is the couple themselves. They must be mature enough and responsible to carry on their duties as good parents to their children. If the couple are well prepared, knowing all the things that must be done as parents, then everything else will follow. No matter how stable the couple financially but if they they don't know their duties towards their children then everything will be useless. The success in building up a family depends on the couple who will be building it.

For me, you should first establish your abilities to get a decent job or your own business. Second is ask yourself if you are through enjoying being single in life that is being ready to be committed to your wife and future kids. Do you have a goal in life that you feel could affect it if you start a family now? Maybe its good to take a list of your abilities and goals and why do you want to start a family at your age.

I am a dad and I waitied till I was 29 before I become a dad, I wasnt financially ready till then. If you dont feel grown up then you should wait as kids will change your life totally, people dont reliese how it affects your entire life untill the day you die. A massive commitment that you have to go into when you are 100% ready, till then enjoy ya freedom as that will be gone once you have kids. Tho they are the best thing that can happen to a person aslong as you are ready for the commitment.
