Well I was speaking specifically about romance with that statement not the entirety of life. There's nothing wrong with a couple growing up together. Sure, it's still broken because that requires two people, but it's more of a simplistic advice to at least not plan to leave your "serious" relationships until you're 30. Maybe that's not common train of thought now, but it certainly was when I was a 20 year old. My thoughts probably aren't coming across in words because I just ramble on the internet and I'm not going back and editing to make sure the context is perfect. So perhaps figure it out isn't the best choice of words even only in the context of romance.
The rest of life, I'm not sure there's really ever any figuring out. Those who think they are done and finished and have everything in it's place are just sitting back waiting for the floor to fall out from under them.
