We've lived there twice. I enjoyed both of my times there. Yes, it was expensive but COLA helped and I shopped at the Commissary and Costco. Actually, we were able to save money each time we lived there.

We enjoyed our three years there. I'd love to go back but won't because of the schools and dh doesn't want to go back.

out in town maybe......on base not so much.

I don't think it is that expensive....sure some things are........but my friend in Cali pays more for gas........and her utilities are through the roof. You get COLA here. Most people in Hawaii make money that we know anyway.

I love Hawaii......we've been here since 1996
