IF (and that's the big question there ) you would honestly save money by living with your parents, it makes more sense to live at home while you can. Moving out on your own is tough enough the first time, especially with facing the prospect of paying off student loans, you'd probably want to give yourself as much of a cushion as possible.

I know what I was like when I was graduating from college (and I was a lot more responsible then, than I am now), I wouldn't have saved the money, I would have spent it on other things...

LIfe is hard enough... spend the time getting adjusted and building some savings before tossing yourself into the real world. It's not like you don't know each other, or don't have a solid relationship... You've got the rest of your lives to live together - 12 - 18 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
