From a viewpoint of a 40+ you are practically the same age.
While I agree it's hard to deny they are really not that far apart in terms of age, 19 year olds and 25 year olds are worlds apart. Disclaimer: American, can't speak for other cultures
Yeah I'd really have a hard time dating someone who is likely still living with their parents if I'd been on my own a year or two. I wouldn't consider making the relationship serious until I knew they could stand on their own feet.
It really depends though, some people are just really mature at a young age. I know some teenagers who are unfortunately taking care of their parent(s) and siblings. Life is very different for different people.
