A year and a half ago my parents and I moved to the same place in California to take on our new roles at our two different churches. (my dad is a pastor) Definitely not a coincidence, more a God thing. This has given me the chance to take my time in looking for a cheap place to live. A year and a half later, I am still with the parentals. It really has not been bad. I don't have much of a social life anyways so I don't mind too much.
I was just recently approached with the opportunity to move in with some great guys from church. They are a couple years younger and it seems though that it would be very similar to college life. Nothing wrong with that, just not sure that is what I want to live through again. I'm 27. I want to have nice, quiet conversations with friends and go to bed at a reasonable hours. And yes I do like to relax by throwing on some Kenny G and taking bubble baths. Cant do this with 4 other guys in the house.
So here are the pros and cons of moving in with these guys and then give me your opinion.
Pros - Hours upon hours of video games, hanging out with awesome guys, can tell people I don't live with my parents.
Cons - Most likely messy, cant save as much money, 5 guys in a 4 bedroom house, not much peace and quiet.
Answers Please!

As someone who is married, 29,(close to 30) AND unemployed, don't do it. Saving money is worth it. No privacy sucks.
That's a TOUGH call.
1) Are you actually saving the money you aren't paying for rent or just living large?
2) Are the guys really good guys? How well do you know them? 5 of the right guys together could be great....a wrong mix could be brutal.
3) Can you be yourself around these guys or do you always have to be the 'pastor'?
Just a few things to consider.
saving money is always a good thing.
Thanks for the comment about TEDS, I actually really don't like it! haha
