Review of Honolulu, Hawaii


forget retiring
Star Rating - 7/14/2007
Although living in paradise is often viewed as "worth the money" when it comes to savings and planning for your retirment, this is not place to be. The cost of housing here is unaffordable to the average family, acerage or large parcels of land are unheard of and building a home from the ground up without it being in a subdivision is not done. While I do love it here, I cannot afford to stay here and plan on having enough money to live when I retire.
