There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Did you take the quiz? What was the result? https://www.livinginhawaii.com/hawaii-nei/living-in/can-live-hawaii-easy-now-take-quiz/

We have pension income and social security totaling about $6,000 a month. We have good saving in case we need We want to buy a small, low budget condo in Honolulu area or its surrounding. We love oceans and lot of tourists where we live. We can live within our means even if we know that cost of living is very high compared to that of California. We may need or no need a car. We are older people and we have Medicare and supplemental health insurance. We just want to enjoy our golden years near the beaches.

I request your advice whether we should move to Hawaii? My choice island is Waikikiki, Honolulu.

Thank you very much for your valuable time and consideration.

Great, I’m on your email list and look forward to the job placement component.

1st: make sure you’re on my email list. 2nd: if you’re an online marketer I would think you could get jobs that may be outside Hawaii. That said, my upcoming program will include a job placement component so make sure you’re on the list.

First of all, I have some distant relatives currently living in Oahu. I have NEVER been to Hawaii. I am going by what my relatives are telling me and it sounds like the perfect place to appreciate life opposed to this rat race in SoCal. My biggest concern is that I do online marketing for a living. I have searched every single day on indeed, craigslist, and linkedin for jobs in that field. It feels like there are very few to really no opportunities at all. I have read your article on 10 steps to a job. This is the only thing that discourages me from making the move. Aside from the career aspect, everything else makes perfect sense to move (even your quiz says so lol).

I have enough savings to last me 6 months of living in Oahu, based on the rent price I have already been offered and some cushion for food/ entertainment. I am career driven and honestly do not want to force myself to work in jobs outside of my field.

Do you have any advice Peter?
