It's fine if both want the same thing out of the relationship & have their heads in the roughly the same space whether good or bad.
I think you can get a fair picture of who a person is and where they're going by 21. Not all the time because some people pull it together or fall apart when life stuff happens, but generally people who are dip****s at 21 just become older dip****s. People who lack ambition, lie/cheat/BS, flake on stuff (etc) seem find a way to do the minimum and stay that way.
Whereas someone younger who is doing all the right things and has their priorities about right will probably stay on a decent track, even if they're poorer and a little more naive right this second.
How a person is with their plans, schedule, and money are the three best indicators I've seen. I forgot who said that but I think they're right.
