Wasting your 20’s and having to play catch-up in your 30’s and 40’s is really hard. You will have to make some compromises. Things will not be as good as they could have been if you had planned ahead better.

I didn’t waste my 20’s; they wasted me (with illness). This caused me to end up having my three children 10 years later than I planned, and having 3 or 4 less of them than I wanted.

Yes, you can wait until later to start your real life. But you shouldn’t.
