Dr. Michael Henson+FollowWhy retiring in Hawaii isn’t all paradiseRetiring in Hawaii sounds like a dream, but the reality can be a shock. Many folks, like Bob Haber, discover that the cost of living is sky-high—think $850,000 homes and everyday expenses that are double or triple what you’d pay on the mainland. Taxes keep rising, especially with big projects like the Honolulu rail, and even retirement savings can get hit hard. Sure, the culture and scenery are incredible, but for many retirees, the financial stress outweighs the island vibes. Would you trade financial comfort for life in paradise, or is it just not worth the squeeze? #Travel #RetirementReality #HawaiiLife4925Share
