That's actually terrible advice, in my opinion. Raising a family is REALLY hard work that requires a lot of time and dedication out of you. It also restricts what you can and can't do; quitting jobs that you hate or moving somewhere to seize an opportunity become astronomically difficult with a family.

Families are important, but why limit your potential early?

I think the take away was to avoid optimizing 'potential' and stop focusing on anything really. He meant go do something else with your free time, like meet people and experience new things.
