I'm glad I didn't listen to people who gave me that kind of advice. I was married at 22.5, married almost four years now.

Developmentally people go through stages of life. And, for each stage of life things are generally "called for". Some of those things are travel to see what else exists outside of one's own backyard, applying oneself to career to amass resources and establish the ability to provide, testing oneself against peers so as to find where one fits in relation to others, for pursuit of ego and for pursuit of spirit. For some they can live a lifestyle of 1950's Americana whereas others have different circumstances. As someone approaching 40 I can look back on the earlier stages and realize how much I didn't know then and having lived life the lessons that I have acquired.

Nothing wrong with going for it though as long as one is willing to accept that there is so much that is unknown.
