Moving to Hawaii

"I love your website! I plan on moving to the Big Island by December (with my husband, twin sister and our dogs) We already have their vet-work done, just waiting now. We want to live on the Big Island for a year and then Oahu. I know you said we need to look for a job before coming, it just seems like no one takes you seriously when applying from the mainland.  I'm worried about finding a place to rent with dogs. My babies are house trained and walked 2-3 times a day.  As for jobs, we aren't picky. Do you have any suggestions?"

Aloha Jill,

As long as you have enough savings in the bank to cover your expenses and you aren't particular as to what kind of job you get, you could make the move. Have you thought about starting a business? There are lots of opportunities for people who have an entrepreneurial spirit and the willingness to work hard for themselves. 

The economy is improving so moving to Hawaii without any job prospects is less of a risk than before.  
​
Good luck!
