Need help deciding whether to move out

[EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. READ PAGE 7 BETCH]

Here's where I am currently:

1 bdroom apt
$1200
walking distance to gym

Here's where I have to make a decision TODAY on whether to move into or not:
5 bedroom house (4 roommates..all are cool, have known one of them for 3 years)
$760
own bedroom, but share bathroom
not walking distance to gym

It's soooooooo cheap and all the guys are cool and they have PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360!!!! And cable!!!! And I SAVE $440 EVERY month. And there's NO pigeons making humping noises everyday waking me up at 6am.

I keep thinking I need to be social and since I work alone (music and day job) it's good to be surrounded by people at home...sorta like when I lived at the frat. I miss that aspect. But everyone tells me "you're not 21 anymore jake it won't be like college." So now I'm confused. I don't know if I want to move out because I just want to make friends, or if I want to move out because living alone isn't healthy for me.

Also if I decide to move out (which I have to decide today) I won't live in the new place until I get back from Germany and Israel...and wtf what if that changes me and I come back and think to myself "holy shit why did i move here?"

What would you do? My friends all say I'm crazy for moving out, but my friends are all introverts and I think I should start listening to what I want to do.

And anyone live in a house with multiple roomies?

I don't know what I want in life.

/mid-20s crises

Advice from someone closer to my age the better. I'm 26.

move out.
more roomies to bang.
more reasons to have parties.
you still have your own personal space.
run to the gym, twice the workout
anddddd you have more money

This is a no brainer. Moving in with some friends and saving $440 a month? Are you drunk? God damn lush.

Move out and save the money.

move out

Fuuuuuck everyone here says move out...you two above me what are your ages? Might help me decide. I feel like if I were younger then I SHOULD move out, but being 26 I feel like I need to "grow up" and be alone. But then again that's probably what society wants me to think I should do. So totally confused.

I'll be 27 in Sept.

As much as it's nice to have your own place, you're better off saving money and having roommates.

roomates for financial reasons. But if you are tidy and organized i recommend moving on your own.

plus 3 roomates = 3 oportunities for you to pork one of them eh?

it depends what your overall motives are. If you actually plan to buy somewhere, then the 440 you'd save a month would soon add up to a nice deposit. Downside is shared bathrooms, people leaving the toilet seat covered in piss and the likes. Honestly, it's so hard to get onto the property ladder here that so many people still live with family cos mortgage deals are crippling, and renting often is in the shitty areas.

Do not move out. At least I wouldn't. OK, it's quite a bit of money but that's all forgotten as soon as your roommates start to annoy (or molest) you.

Especially since you're already used to living on your own, my guess is you want that back pretty soon.

if you're making good money, stay. invite some girls over and bang the fuck out of them.

Roomates are a pain in the ass.

That's actually not that bad considering the area he lives in. lol @ Jake banging chicks

$1200 isn't that bad, or bad at all. If you have a good job $1200 is easily doable.

More like Jake doesn't suck the poonana at all.

Im 28 and I dont ever want to share space with friends again. Its great for the most part but being able to come home and not worry about if there is company over. I can put my feet up and watch what I want.

These were the downsides to sharing space for me. They seem petty but over time I got sick of it.

Shower - He took showers for over an hour ( not including the 45min shit beforehand) If I didnt wake up early enough I was fucked for getting ready for work.

Food - He could eat like he had a tapeworm. Id come home after a 12 hour day and he was eating my dinner.

Friends - You cant get along with everyone elses friends. I didnt really care for his girlfriend. I wasnt mean, just minded my own business. Id come home and they were making out on my couch. I didnt want to be in the same room so Id end up spending way too much time in my own bedroom because I was the last one home.

At first these things werent a big deal. It was just after dealing with it for a long time it became annoying.

Stay where you are.

I'd pay $440 per month for privacy, my own space at my terms, and no bathroom sharing. Whoever mentioned the thing about roomates' friends and shit... dead on. I went through the same thing a couple years ago. Even with one roomate, the little petty things start to crop up. Don't move out dude!

Move out & buy a condo. Then you wont be pissing money away just to live.

This has nothing to do with whether I'm old enough to make my own decision. I'm 50/50 split on this. Just because I'm "old enough" doesn't automatically make it easier to decide what to do in life. And who said anything about spending money in Germany? YOU'RE gonna spend money on me hahahhahaha.

I think what it boils down to is I like my privacy better but I don't think I can afford this place anymore. And staying here giving myself the illusion that I've "made it" is only going to drain my savings account until I have no money left and I'm fucked. I figure if I move out and save the money, either (a) if I don't make more money than at least I'm renting cheaper, or (b) if I make more money then at least I can move back into a 1bdroom apt.

p.s. lol @ banging girls

i know, it's saturday. good luck!

he is gay noob

if they are cool friends you've known, then it shouldn't be an issue. however, living with someone you thought is a friend is way totally different than just hanging out w/ them on a friday night. you see them in full force.

i've had two bad experiences with living with people i thought were cool....one turned out to be more introverted than i originaly thought; so much so that he only stayed in his room and never was social....like at all. i mean, AT ALL. the other guy kind of turned out to be a douche and left halfway through the school year (which ended up being great because my friend Dawn and i had the whole duplex to ourselves then).

but if its saving you THAT much money, it might be worth it. do you have to sign a lease? like a full year commitment? or is it a monthly thing where if things don't work out, you can just up and leave?

edit,

i'm 25 and been living on my own since i was 23. i had a shitty roommate here, but that was my own mistake of not booting his ass out to the curb earlier.

live and learn, i guess

What about a studio Jakey? Where abouts in Hollywood do you live?

fixed.

i'm no noob. mexi****.

damn man, find a cheaper apartment. What you're paying now is insane. There are nice 1br places for $450 a month in my area...very nice 1brs for $550, and studio apartments for $350.

Look in the Sunday paper and go to the supermarket to get 2 of those apartment magazines. Find another option.
