I'm 26.
I am married, with an 18 month old little boy and another baby on the way.

My husband and I are renting as we can't afford to buy just yet.

Free time and weekends consist of soft play/play centres for the little one, museums, sight seeing, coffee shops most of the time, walks, and occasionally eating out.
We don't drink, we don't go clubbing/partying and don't have many friends to meet up with where we currently are, so not extremely exciting, life is peaceful though, not many hurdles, we are happy introverts, and we are hopeful for the future.

Our life differs wildly from our child free/single friends the same age though.

Is that private renting? I think housing costs are the big dividers in society now

Yes private renting! Although we will have to move out soon as the landlord has significantly increased the rent.
My BIL and SIL, who are the same age as us, did manage to buy a beautiful 3 bed house though, but my SIL's parents offered to pay for their deposit.

I'm 24 - 25 in a couple of months. My partner is 31. My partner has very successful businesses, I am a SAHM (although I am finishing off my bacherlor's degree than I started when I fell pregnant).

I have a 3.5 year old from a previous relationship, that my partner loves as his own.

Renting atm as we only moved in together last year but looking to buy soon.

I only have 2-3 really good friends. Never really go out clubbing/drinking.

We travel a lot! We're off to Asia for a month in January

Can't really think of anything else Grin life is brilliant! Although I had a very, very hard time from 19-23.
