At what age should a person finally realise it's time to start planning for their future?

I don't think there really is an 'age' to determine this. Everyone is different and has different ideals and dreams therefor requiring different life plans. For instance, if you want to become a professional baseball player or other athlete you must start playing the game at an early age and continue on so that your abilities are sharp. This may not take very much financial effort rather than physical effort. But in the longrun look what you acheive for your hard work. Professional athletes make it very well. This also holds true for musicians. The younger you begin the more talented you will be making it easier to provide a steady income later. If you want to be a financial whiz then you must go to an accredited college and after high school things will be different. It all depends on the lifestyle you want to lead as an adult. If you are happy to just get by but find true love then maybe high school is the end for you as was me. If you want to be a big success and have a house so large that you have to have gardeners, maids, etc. then college is definitely in your future and you better hit the books. If you are the athlete type probably college but not as seriously academically. So you see, it is all dependant on what you want your future to hold. Good luck!

The perfect age is 39. You are still young and able to do anything. You are smarter and more mature. You have experience. It's a good time.

24 is still really young.  He might feel he has a lot more living to do before he settles down.  Are you willing to wait?  That's the true question.  Answer it...

I bet your going to get a lot of similar answers, but I do not believe there is a right age.  I do believe someone in their 30s is much more mature and much more capable of knowing they are ready to be together.  The younger you are the more likely you are to divorce according to statistics.

Whenever you feel mature enough to take on responsibilities and tasks. When you arent immature anymore and find stupid things funny. Etc\n\nProbably around 16 or 17, depends on the person

As a child you have no real worries unless you come from a broken home.  As a teen you can party and discover your sexuality.  In your 20s you have a lot more control over your life.  In your 30s you have even more control, you know more stuff, and generally you are getting to the point when you can afford the nicer things in life.  In your 40s you can afford some nice things in life, but you probably have a lot more responsibilities such as kids.  In your 50s your body is starting to wind down and you now look old.  In your 60s your career is coming to an end and you are starting the process of dying.  After that look forward to health issues and death.  So take your pick.  Personally I think 25-35 is the best age group.

Any age after you are married.  It is up to the man and woman to decide if they are ready.    Generally speaking, people who are married, have a steady income, and feel like they know themselves are ready.

,  you are not off to a late start-your timing is great .with modern medicine advanced the way it is ,women can start families in their 40's .please wait!-at least until you are in your thirties. establish your career -your own identity. Make sure you have yourself financially established -great credit , etc. . invest your own money in   property (houses). pay off student loans, then enjoy being a couple ,take trips and really build on your friendship with your boyfriend.

Awwww gee, at 21 you're just barely getting out of the starting gate. It's a good time to think about your goals, and where you'd like to be in your life in 5, 10, 15 years, etc. It's the best time to start out at those "entry level" jobs that will give you experience to move up to the big-paying jobs later. Also, if you haven't had any college education, now is the time to think and plan for it. If not, when you're 40 you'll still feel the feeling you feel now at 21 when you're still slingin' burgers or stuck in a job that you absolutely hate. But it's NEVER too late to go to school. However, the younger you start, the more you retain (an element of human development) and the better chance you have to move up the ladder at a relatively young age. Good luck.

first should be love, understanding and consistency.\nstart early and make adjustments through the years and allow room for improvement and make sure your discipline for the right reason age and issue.

Well, most people think they are born to do something and succeed and help mankind somehow. Its not like majority of people start off young thinking I am going to be a nobody. It would be great if you could reach the goal you have set for yourself though. I am a little confused with the line you have..."but I feel that I was born once". If thats what you think you were called to do though, then go after it. It is never too late to live your dream.

I asked the same question once. I wanted to go back to school but said to a friend, "I'm 37 now. If I go back to school now, by the time I graduate in 4 years, I'll be 41."\nHis reply was "If you don't go back to school, you'll still be 41 in 4 years."\nPoint being, yes, go. It's never to late to improve yourself, to follow a dream, to be who you are meant to be.

It is never too late to start anything.  Go ahead and do it, and enjoy it. Isn't that what life is about?

The ideal age is when somebody feels mature and is ready psychologically to do it.\n\nKaterina

I think that you should concentrate on your study first before you go for work somewhere else as 12 to 18 is a golden age for studying.
