I'd say the right time to settle down is whenever you become financially stable and are actually capable of paying for the costs of a child. Soooo...... never?

That's what i'm starting to realise as well. I turn 22 in March, so I've thankfully still got quite a few years until I reach the "settling down" stage so to speak, but I also can't help but think that it really isn't that far off in the grand scheme of things. If the idea of entering into a relationship (which I would like to, but I have never been in one), getting married and having kids is somewhat daunting and off-putting for me at almost 22, am I really going to have a different outlook five years down the track when I am about to turn 27? It can be easy to assume that our perspectives on the matter will magically change once we enter our late 20s/early 30s, but being in your 20s typically isn't considered as being a transitional time in someone's life. Who's to say that it ever will? It's a weird thing about growing up in general that I have come to realize: You always think that at some random future time, you'll be different. Could be the situation, how you feel as a person, how you look to yourself, how you do things; anything really. But it's an illusion we trick ourselves with. There's a lyric from some country song I can't remember "I'm stuck with the same ol' you" that struck a chord with me, I guess because it's how I feel internally. Seems like you just gotta deal with things as they arise, and when they do, everything usually (hopefully) comes together without any big moment of transformation. That's a good point.
