Menopause is the cut off for me for the *right* age for a woman to have a baby. Personally, I wanted to be done by 30 but not because I think being over 30 is too old. My last baby was born when I was 29. DH and I didn't get to do much travel or anything like that before we started having kids so we wanted to have them quickly so that by the time they are out of home we're still *young enough* to travel. But that's just the way my life worked out. I think our perspective is arbitrary based on where we are at in any given point of our lives.
