Product Description
Have you ever dreamed of living in Hawaii? Living in the Islands has remained a dream to many, largely because Hawaii’s reputation of an out-of-reach cost of living. "Affordable Paradise: the Secrets of an Affordable Life in Hawaii" dispels the myth that it is terribly expensive to live in Hawaii. You will learn why all those "statistics" about housing prices and the cost of living do not apply to those who are serious about affordable living. You'll learn the secrets of making the most of every dollar--and that does work differently here than on the mainland. The focus of “Affordable Paradise” is the Big Island of Hawaii, and particularly the Windward Side, a place of awesome beauty and incredible variety. The Windward side graciously embraces the essence of Hawaii: the lush, tropical ambiance; the gentle and easy pace of life; friendly people of many cultures; the perfect weather; the warm, crystal-clear, ocean; the sparkling clean air; the spirit of aloha. Also covered are the proven guidelines of making your move to the Islands for minimum cost and hassle, from the planning stages to unpacking your container at your new Hawaii home; resources and ideas for income and retirement opportunities, a Virtual Tour of the entire Island, and much more. You won't have to wade through pages of tables and charts of statistics to get to the bounty of both philosophical and nuts-and-bolts information. And should you be interested in reviewing statistical data, the Resource Guide directs you to some of the best available. But before you jump in to start looking for that new home, please understand that "Affordable Paradise" is not an effort to sell Hawaii to the masses. It is as much to discourage those who would not be at ease here as it is to encourage those to whom Hawaii could forever be their home. To that end, the author strives to present both sides of the picture. You will not hear that Hawaii is everyone's Paradise, because clearly, it is not. But for those who are at peace here and who yearn from their hearts and souls to live here, we offer ways to make it possible and affordable. You can live a gracious and rewarding life in Hawaii on a modest income, and you're about to discover how.
