Say that to the ppl in countries/places where people start working from the age they are old enough to hold tools, or after high school, they or their parents are not gonna bother delaying their marriage well past puberty, it varies wildly depending on the place(and culture), not everyone is living in a rich country and want to complete masters before doing anything else.

Nobody said anything about being rich or completing masters degrees, the crux of it is that you are still evolving as a person so even if you did know what you wanted at 24 it’s not what you want at 30 or whatever.

Did you go into the occupation of your childhood dreams? No? Is it because as you grew you better understood things and your interests deepened?

It’s like that.

These days, a consensus of neuroscientists agree that brain development likely persists until at least the mid-20s – possibly until the 30s.

Well if you want you can marry at 40, your personality will always be changing somewhat based on your surroundings, but if you want to marry at 40, go ahead, no one will (and should) stop you, the problem is that you and the op are saying here that anyone who doesn’t has the same mindset as you as weird, dig about the marriage age of your grandparents or great grandparents, they probably got married before or in their very early 20’s because culture keeps on evolving, and people have always been living good married lives before this notion ‘you should not marry before 25 and the age difference should not be more than 3 years and blah blah blah’
