I get the gist of this and basically agree, however, there are a couple of things I'd like to point out:

1) don't put a time line on settling down. You can settle down with and without a significant other and you can do it any time you feel like it - not because you hit some magic number. Otherwise, you'll put some unnecessary pressure on yourself to get things done before a certain point, etc...

2) If you think that you can't do what you really really want to do anymore once you've settled down, you are settling down with the wrong person or settling down too early

I know this from experience
