Thinning hair: Maybe beat, maybe variance. Suggestions?

[jdock99]

So,

I am 28 yr old and have receding hairline w/ thinning hair, especially in the front on the sides. Most of the older men on both sides of my family are bald, so I guess this has definitely been coming.

Anyways, I am not really sure if I care enough about this to try any products (i.e. Propecia or Rogaine). Was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with these or any other products and whether they thought it was worth it?

FWIW: Personally, I do not care all that much about my looks at all, except as it may effect my ability to interact with other people. I am already married and do not have any intentions of getting divorced anytime soon, so attracting members of the opposite sex is not a super paramount concern at this time. However, all else being equal going bald could effect future job prospects and employability.
