In this updated and revised Fourth Edition you'll learn how to find affordable homes; evaluate a purchase and how this works differently in Hawai'i; tricks for keeping everyday expenses down, shipping possessions at minimum cost, about Hawai'i's schools and integrating your kids into this new culture, info on medical facilities, bringing your pets with you, and much more.
A "Virtual Tour" stops in each community and makes note of weather, living conditions, types and costs of available housing and details that might invite special attention.
There's a whole chapter on the reasons why Hawai'i is clearly NOT everyone's paradise. We aim to share the information we've observed among those who put so much effort, emotion, money and time into their "move to paradise," only to discover within a short period of time that there is more to island life than one would find during a short vacation on Waikiki Beach.
The goal of Affordable Paradise is not so much a call to move to Hawai'i as it is a plea to those who are thinking about it to do so with heart and soul; to enter into this huge decision with an open mind, knowing in advance the ups and downs of others who have come and gone before them.
The focus of Affordable Paradise is discovering the awesome Island of Hawai'i, the "Big Island." Folks have asked why the book doesn't cover affordable living on the other islands, like Maui or O'ahu. For the same reason that a book on affordable living in California would not presume to include Beverly Hills or San Francisco. The Big Island is truly awesome, still affordable, and there has never been a better time than now! The Fourth Edition addresses the changes brought on by the current economic climate of the country.
