Work and friends are in a major metro city in India.

The key question to think about: 15-20 years from now, when you look back on the decision, will you have any regrets?! That should be your true-north.

Another recent book to check out is "Diary of a Successful Loser". The book may not have all the answers but has a number of stories where the author reflects on life situations, setbacks, disappointments. More importantly, the stories end with reflections on moving forward.
Books don't always have all the answers, but can help one reflect on shared experiences.

>We want to wait for at least 3 years before we have a baby.
Why? Why?
Don't delay or put off having a child Especially IF you and your spouse want to..
Fact:
- Money and career goals will continue to evolve. Life doesn't wait for those goals.
- The biological clock begins ticking for women and it's not worth fighting to beat it. Freezing eggs, sperms etc - too expensive and tiresome !
- The other unsaid advantage of having kids early is you can spend quality time with them... when you and your spouse are relatively younger.
Just My2Cents. I am not a role model by any means, but speak from experience. (Ref - My story)
My biggest mistake? I married a gold-digger - a senior IAS officer's daughter. She married me for a Green Card when I lived in the US.
Glad I was able to walk out after a couple of years. My story in the book "Diary of a Successful Loser"
