I got married at 34 years old. And I eloped.
I waited many years--lonely and suffering because I dated some lusers mixed in there...
The reality, is I was NOT ready to dedicate my life to my significant other. When you get married, you have to do that every now and then. I just came off from having to do that and it was very painful for my husband. He supported me financially for nearly 7 months because I had to leave my hellish job. Believe me, without his support, what would I look like moving back in with my parents at nearly 40 years old!
And I know SEVERAL people OLDER than me that have done that after crazy relationships with kids...
From your post-baccalaureate days to your mid/late-30's--PLEASE enjoy all that you are. If you are suppose to be a nuclear physicist making presentations to the UN, learn that and give yourself as much way to make your OWN way. So that when this economy--or your economy worsens, you've got your own "ticket" to succeed... Do not wait until your old, decrepit or too sick to make essential changes.
Good Luck!
