But I agree, don't have them until you want them. Most of the "right time" ideas are about being financially ready which, as you mentioned, you can never be truly prepared for. But if you want Fridays to be party night for a while, stick with the pill.

You're still quite young! My best friend & her husband didn't have their first child until they were 30 and had been married for almost 10 years. Oh, and I would say that having children is not so much a side effect of being an adult as it is a side effect of being married and wanting them. And then there are people like myself who are single and adult (and been for over a decade) but still have no children. Granted, we are a rare breed in suburbia, but we are still here!
