    When I lived in Maui I had a chill job dental assisting, then bartending occasionally at an awesome upcountry bar. Was an absolute blast. Living in a studio for $900/month, something I never thought I could do after enjoying my 2 bedroom with a den to myself for 5 years lol, was a breeze because I was always outside 24/7/365. It had an awesome open air laundry area (again, had never used a shared laundry system and was so scared but it was great!!!) And a fantastic pool and BBQ area and was literally right across the street from the beach!! If I wasn't surfing I was having beach time or BBQ or working or camping out, etc. You don't need a giant house like Jackson has lol. You can also get super creative and do farm work for fresh produce, build relationships with the local farmers. You can also do things like offering to run errands and clean house as a trade for services or learning new things like fishing or diving. Portland is so freaking expensive. I would much rather be dropping my money on the island than the mainland. I think about it literally every time I am driving my $400 cart out of Trader Joes..... and paying my other bills every month.... Can't speak for the big island. 🌊🤙🥰🤙🌊 My bro was just there and said he greatly preferred Maui and Lanai. Lanai is amazing.... aaahhhh I miss HI so much 🥰🥰🥰🌊🤙

    Brilliant video, yep you can keep the lifestyle going as long as you want. I spent all of the 90s, my 20s traveling the planet, I call it "10 years a backpacker". I am lucky I have a trade, but I worked at the Winter Olympics, took photos on other snow seasons and could always fall back on my trade. Well done JL you are living the dream, and the dream is out there.

      I'm born and raised here. Better enjoy pictures of the ocean because that's all your going to see when you've come home from your 3rd job and watch people surf on the internet. You'll get to the beach once a month. You'll stay nice and thin because groceries cost so much. Gas is expensive. Most of we locals are still living here because we don't have enough money to leave because it takes 3 jobs just to survive. I'd think twice about moving here.

Hell I met my wife there. Kids figure out a way and do what he’s doing. I retired at 25 went to ski and play. Now I’m working and have a family. No regrets just lots of great memories and a few(a lot ) of pains to remember one of the best times on my life.

    I've lived here in Hawaii for over 33 years, working as a carpenter the whole time...I can tell you the ONE thing that makes living in Hawaii so expensive....Greedy landlords...They are all the same..They are in collusion to keep raising the rents, telling you they can make more for your place if you move out.. Local sourced food, not bought at Whole Paycheck Foods, is the way to go..Simplify. Eat cleaner, appreciate the weather, and the lack of big city vibes, unless you live in Honolulu or Waikiki....

    Whole Foods in Kailua is more expensive than Foodland that's why it got its nickname "Whole Paycheck". If you eat more Hawaiian and less Haole you would spend less on food.

    I came out to Oahu three years ago and made several trips to Costco for the savings. Not only is that place great for saving on groceries, you'll also save on gas and then there are the concession windows where they charge the same prices for food as the mainland. I got an 18" pizza for less than $10 and ate on it for a few days. Not sure if they still have it but when I was there they also sold the Go City card and I picked that up and saved a bunch on various attractions around the island.

It really might be worth a/b testing those categories. If not on yt, maybe try doing a product write up on the site if you guys have one. I am certain there is enough search vol for these terms for you guys to get decent conversions.

When we lived in Missoula we paid 500 in rent for a two story 4 room house. Even where I live now in the Midwest, for 7000 a month your are looking at a sweet house for that! A bit less than in MT though. Peace ! Feel for your challenge.
