Moving to Hawaii with Family - Cost of living on Oahu

Our family of 5 spends 400$ per month on food. We grow alot and have many fruit trees. Also our electric is 70$ per month it can be alot cheaper just depends on your life style.

This was such an awesome vlog. I honestly learned more in this 5 mins and 27 secs then anything I have researched. Thanks for keeping it real 🇨🇦❤️

$150k at least with a Family of 5. That’s without going out to eat and only shopping at Walmart and Costco 💯

I am so sick of people saying how expensive it is to live Hawaii. It’s dependent on where you are from originally. Yes, coming from the midwest like yourself it is more but being from the East or West Coast it is not at all. I live six months on Oahu and six months in West LA. The rent and costs in West LA is way higher. A travel magazine recently rated the top ten most expensive cities and the top ones were all in California or NY. Honolulu was the bottom ten. To put it in perspective, coming from Idaho and moving to Hawaii is a shock. But not for most people already living in high income cities.

Thank you for the breakdown, moving to Oahu in a couple of months and this put a lot of worry at ease.

I admit Hawaii does offer magnificent beauty, nature, lush green "pastures" and of course, the Aloha spirit, and the weather.

Nyob zoob brother… my wife and I just found your channel, super cool content ! Family is awesome!!

I'd say you need at least $150k. Some things you didn't account for is health insurance costs, after school costs like piano, taekwondo, swimming, and savings/investments. What about eating out once in a while, shopping for household goods, and water bill? It ain't cheap here, but man is it so F in beautiful. I am grateful every day I wake up in this paradise

Welcome home!

You look like Neymar Jr bro. Keep it up. I like your channel!

Truth. I grew up there. I have family there. I’m pretty minimal, and I feel like I could live there fine.

I'm a senior and If I sell my large mortgage-free home in San Diego I'll have enough $$ to pay cash for a small condo. I have pension income & investment income of about $95k a year. I think I will be ok.

Depends if you have a mortgage or if you’re renting. $100K can be enough minus your largest expense. If you have either, you may have a tight budget but it’s probably doable.

Please Sir I need your precious opinion: I am 31 from Italy, In 2 years I will have 3 degrees, currently speak fluently 5 languages while I have studied 8 and I work as firmware developer in a French multinational company. Do you think I have a chance within the next two years to land a job in the tech sector in Hawaii? The 5 languages I speak: Italian, English, French, German, Chinese. Plus I have knowledge of Japanese, Spanish and Russian. The 3 degrees: Languages and cultures, Robotics, Applied artificial intelligence. The tech degrees have been undertaken under the stricter requirements of an international university in Germany.

I’m thinking of moving to Hawaii with my husband and there are MANY things we need to concern such as expenses— I aim to live in Kakaako area (one bedroom unit) and how much do you think we need to spend monthly (rent + parking + utilities)

The median price for a single-family home on O'ahu recently FELL by 6% from January 2022 to $985,500. The median price of a condo FELL by 4% to $490,000.

👍

Lol, I've been here 4 years, and if you want to eat and have a decent home, you have to make double what you needed on the mainland.

Aloha Hope it works out for you . Welcome to Hawaii .

200k pre taxes. post taxes.... 130ish. The same math leaves said family in the red.
