Default When is a good time to get the timing belt/water pump replaced?

I know Honda recommends those things being changed at 90k miles, but some people get it doen around 70-80k miles. I have about 70XXX miles on my car, and I was wondering if I have to change them now. I go the 60k mile tuneup last july if that helps. What should I do? Also, how much will Honda charge for the timing belt/water pump package, and how much doesthe 90k service cost? the 90k service includes the water pump and timing belt right?

sorry the amount of questions, but this is very important and i dont want bent valves

People get it done from 60-90k. I'd go with 80k. I dont remember what my shop charged me. You dont want to do it at a dealership! That will cost too much money. They usually change the water pump when they change timing. And about the bent valves, that may or may not happen. For some people the car just stops and no damage is done.
