We had a meeting at work the other day and they told us in 2 years we will be flying to Hawaii. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) They will be putting mechanics over there and I should have enough seniority to make the cut (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) So I talk to the wife about it and she thinks that may be OK so we go on line to see homes. I found a nice one and it has a shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) She brings me down to earth and said it is a little out of our price range (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) But it is a nice place.

The cost of living out here is high, depending on where you've been. I live in Honolulu currently, and I've lived in CA and NYC. It's roughly what you'd pay in the bay area, and cheaper than in NY. The biggest issue with COL is that salaries out here are generally 20-40% lower than their mainland counterparts - they call it the "paradise tax". If your salary is competitive nationally you'll have no problem.
My advice would be to live here for a year before you decide to sell. It's an island, 3000 miles in the middle of the ocean, and after a year in one place you'll really get a feel for what that means. You may love it - I came out here 6 years ago and it's home. Not many roads to drive fast on though - I'd be surprised if the whole island is more than 100 miles round trip... |
