i pay 850 for a studio in a decent building with a full kitchen and balcony but utilities are not included. Electric and cable with internet is an extra 300-350 a month....And we used to rent an extra parkin which was 50 a month. Its so freakin expensive.....
And just for us 2 we spend like 200/week on groceries....And thats on stuff thats always on sale....
Have you ever lived in Holland? its no cheaper than Hawaii, trust me and i do not even have a car, only an old bicycle, and i have a job, so all and all not so different from the rest of the world, and Holland is not a nice place to be, believe it
I love Hawaii and I visit there often. Just got back from O'ahu two weeks ago. It's to bad the cost of living is so high. That was the reason my cousin moved away from Hawaii, just couldn't justify getting ripped off for everything you buy. It sure doesn't stop me from visiting though.
Had a five bedroom two story house with its own in ground pool in Aiea (about five minutes from base). 4 roommates, but 550 a month. I miss that house. Neighbors hated Haoles. Didn't much care for them either.
cool, i thought about moving to honolulu myself when i visited hawaii in 07 but cost of living, jobs,congestion. i wasn't sure if could make it there.
hey, not that expensive for the brand name Hawaii. i'm from Greece... milk has 5-7 dollars a galon and we have like 2 million cows in the country :)
also rent seems not that much at Hawaii. in Greece a one bedroom, 30 years old apt is around 550 dollars but... paychecks here for a working guy is like 1200-1500 dollars a month so... Hawaii don't seem that bad in my opinion.
tell us something about land value if someone want to build his own house...
I'm from Oahu and I loove to move back, but money over there is insane. I could make little money on the mainland and have a big house and alot of money afterwards but over in hawaii you will still living by paycheck by paycheck. It sucks though my family over there is trying to get by.
Thats the main problem with the place. They fluff it up, want your money, but the second you get there, you are not welcome and they want you to leave. There are of course many exceptions to the rule like anywhere else, but im sure you get the point.
thanks for the informative information man, im kinda having second thoughts about moving thier now, you gotta pay for parking in your own place? wtf??
thanks brah! my wife has just got an offer to work in oahu as a repiratory therapist. but seems to me like i have to work 3 jobs just so we can have the same lifestyle that we are accustom to. i know it is hard for companies to pay higher wages due to tax, and other fees that the govt. impose on businesses. they need to change that so they can prevent skilled laborers and businesses from fleeing the islands. few jobs and low wages just means more people shacking up at the beach.
MELORICKY - send me a PM if you are interested about learning more of your situation. I might be able to shed some realistic light on if it would be worth it.
Thanks so much man, I love your videos, its super helpfull especially for someone like me who knows nothing about hawaii and is moving there.. I think we would both get along cause I love motorcycle's and newegg :P
thank you so much for making this video. i am trying to plan out moving to Hawaii for the summer next year. it has been difficult to get solid information.

I pay $642.00 a month for three bedroom house in Ewa Beach on the lease to own program from the state.

What are the specific costs of water, sewer, and any other stuff that you didn't give numbers for, please?
I can see why you moved back to the mainland.
Also, what was your grocery bill per month when you were living there?
Also, WHERE were you living in HI? You never said that, either.
I put parts one and two of your video up on my MySpace.
