You can write off Hawaii then. It's insanely expensive to live on any of the Hawaiian islands. Most married couples in Hawaii both work and live in an apartment. If you're single you'd pretty much have to have a roommate just to make ends meet. To give you an idea -- when we were in Honolulu last year, we saw a house on a bus tour that was maybe 1,400 square feet, in bad shape, and in a so-so area of town. The asking price was $880,000.00. So unless you can get a job in Hawaii making at least $150,000.00 a year, I'd suggest someplace else like Arizona or Georgia.

You can get cheaper housing than that. It is expensive, but it is paradise. If you want to live in paradise, you need to make some sacrifices.
