Residential Paradise<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you think about Hawaii, you probably immediately think about rich blue oceans and warm sand. There’s no lie in calling the islands of Hawaii a paradise. Their jungles are vibrant and thick, the temperatures are warm and idyllic, and there’s a general spirit of welcoming and peace. It can be a no-brainer to decide to move there and indulge in the pleasant atmosphere every day of your life. However, just like with all big moves, there are a few steps you should consider before just loading up and heading over in either a plane or boat. To make sure your move to Hawaii is successful, consider some of these tips.<\/p>\n

1. Consider Work<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s sound advice that you should never move anywhere unless you know you can land a job there. Hawaii is an island. It has a limited space for businesses to expand, especially since much of the land is preserved for ecological reasons, and because of that, jobs can be difficult to come by at times. That being said, the islands are also essentially used for tourism. Where tourists go, there are usually quite a few jobs available to serve their needs.<\/p>\n

As such, if you’re looking at how to move to Hawaii in a way that will ensure you’re financially stable and able to support yourself on the expensive island, then getting into tourism isn’t a terrible idea. Unless you have a lot of money to invest or attempt to build your own business, you may want to opt for the simple services and skills in the tourism sector. Working at a hotel or resort, a bus depot, manning some of the island activities like scuba diving or horseback riding, are all places that you can potentially make your mark if you have the skills to show for it.<\/p>\n

The goal, overall, here is to make sure you can find a job when you move. The last thing you need is to show up only to have to go back because you couldn’t secure a job. Whether you do a bit of interviewing before you move or have someone already on the island that you can stay with until you get a job and house figured out, having those plans are critical.<\/p>\n

2. Save Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

That being said, any great move should only be made after you’ve saved up for it. This will allow you a bit of a cushion while you’re waiting for your first paycheck to arrive. You can stay fed, pay your bills, and maybe even have a bit of fun on the island on the weekends. After all, you’re in Hawaii! You should be sure to take advantage of living in close proximity to all of the fun adventures that the island has to offer.<\/p>\n

Those who have made the move before suggest having $15,000 is a decent amount to have saved up when you move. Any lower than that and you might start to feel the strain if things don’t line up how you thought they might. You should also keep in mind that you’ll likely have to pay a few extra fees if you intend to move large and heavy objects with you from the mainland to the islands.<\/p>\n

3. City Life Or Country?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should also make the decision on just where you want to move to on the island. While the big and bustling city of Honolulu certainly has its perks, it comes with a large price tag. Again, this can be do-able if you have a secure job or you have a roommate or two, but for those who want to just pack up and head right for the island, it might be wise to explore other options. For example, living in Hawaii, while certainly a tad more expensive than other places in the US, is really only expensive as you make it.<\/p>\n

You can find a beautiful home a bit far from the big city of Honolulu that’s just as breathtaking. While you’d have to add in a commute if you intend to work in the city, you’re going to be saving on rental costs for certain. You can also find local grocery stores or hit up the Chinese food markets that typically offer reasonable prices for their vegetables.<\/p>\n

Anyone can live in Hawaii with the right plan and dedication. Do your research and you, too, can make the move and experience living in paradise forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
