Be Careful What You Wish For

How many times have you heard that advice? I've wanted to live in Hawaii all my life, never seriously thinking it could happen. Hawaii is a place you go for vacation. After 2 weeks, you go home and look at pictures of it. But now?

Now I'm feverishly packing all the things I think I'll need to survive there. Things you don't think about like fingernail clippers and scissors. Sure, I could buy new ones there, but at twice the price if I can find the ones I want.

Money will be tight. Squeaky tight. I'm making the same amount of money I made last year, but the cost of living is 36% higher and housing is 96% higher according to a few websites that compare these things. And those are the LOW figures!

Back to packing. More to come.



The realtor should be here any minute.
