Hawaii

Ok, well, this just sounds like a dream come true. What could possibly be wrong with moving to Hawaii?!? Well, with natural wonders and impressive beaches, it might sound like a mistake, but we’re putting the ENTIRE state of Hawaii on our list of worst places to retire.

But, everything great about Hawaii comes at a high price. Just like we mentioned about Alaska, being a cluster of islands, everything needs to be flown in, making prices unusually high.

For example, this location has one of the highest gas prices in our country. Also, it can sometimes be overcrowded with tourists.

…Did we mention the volcanic smog that can ruin everyone’s day every now and then.

    Any party who is OK with killing babies and old people should tell you who cares about you. If you vote for DEMONCRATS, you are nuts

    I have lived in Washington State for decades and would call it the worst pace to retire to because of the ever growing taxes. We bought a modest 1300 sq ft home that was a total fixer upper and over the last 15 years made improvements to retire to and moved from the crime ridden west coast to eastern Washington five years ago when we retired and last year year the state took our 30 year old modest forever home valued at $358,000 and re assessed it at $617,000 at the end of last year. Thats a $259,000 jump in one year and the taxes that were semi affordable will almost double.
    Bing on a fixed income will make it hard to do anything but pay taxes. I honestly can’t think of anything that isn’t taxed and there are more taxes on the way. we are looking to move to Idaho at this point. We were basically taxed out of our home on the west side we lived in for 30years and they are doing the same thing to us again. Plus the state is billions or dollars in debt even after raising taxes and adding taxes. Think real hard before moving to Washington State unless you have a lot of money to burn.

    Glad to see that we had advanced in education to where people think that Hawaii is a city… Nice… We have plenty to look forward to with this doomed humanity
