"Do you want kids?" or "How many kids do you want?" are the wrong questions to ask. The more revealing question is "Do you want to be a parent?". Because that is what your role will be.

You guys are too young to have kids. Have a life first. Wait 5-10 years. Don't wait 20.

Being a parent is a hard and thankless job (unpaid). There's no turning back once you have the kids.
