Wonder how can my heart changed so quickly.

A year ago, I thought I would be single for the whole life,
But now, I want a kid, very much..... Crying or Very sad

I even want to give up all other things, like career, marriage or money....but I'm only 24, still have too many things to do/learn. Sad

I've been through a simular situation and I'm now 20. I think it is physically ok to have a baby before you reach 40? Depends on your health. Personally though, I have always wanted to adopt because my family wouldn't really think it would be the best idea to have my OWN child before marriage.....

Unless you have enough money to hold you over through eighteen years of child raising plus four years of college and extra support until they get a job, the energy and stamina to raise a child by yourself and search for a spouse (because I know you don't want to stay lonely), and if you have the capacity to love that child unconditionally and with your full attention, then you're perfectly ready to have a child. Otherwise, you'll just end up in very tough times.

At both 20 and 24, I doubt that you can meet all three of those requirements simultaneously. In fact, at any age, very few people could. The best advice I can give is to wait and find a spouse first, then accumulate enough of a financial buffer to allow you plenty of leeway in raising a child (remember that one of you will have to quit your job for a while, or even permanently considering day care costs these days -- and it would actually be much better for the child if one of you was able to devote all of your time towards him/her for those important years up until college). And when you have that financial buffer, when just one person can support all three (or four, or five) people in the household by him or herself, make sure that you have no commitments that may keep you away from the children, and let the conception begin!

You are on the rebound--or you should be:

Don't make decisions involving another person--especially a vulnerable child--until your heart has healed.
