The REALITY of PARADISE
There comes a time when we all need a REALITY CHECK…once again we get one this week…The Reality of Paradise. Lots of people come and go to these islands of Hawaii…Some are born here…some are flown here…sadly…both groups come and leave…and many for the same reason…MONEY!
It’s sad that this world is based around the mighty dollar…who doesn’t wish it was different, but the Real Reality is to make it in Hawaii you need a lot of it…Unless you plan on living OFF GRID on Big Island or one of the other islands…it’s going to be hard for you if you move to OAHU…And that’s just not because of the MONEY aspect…20 years ago if money was the only issue we wouldn’t even be discussing this…sadly…for the island of Oahu…it’s much more than money these days that we must factor in…MONEY, TRAFFIC, OVER-DEVELOPMENT, LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, OVERCROWDING and TOO MANY TOURISTS! For the other islands…NONE of these problems are an issue except for some of the money concerns, but there are ways around living on the other islands without much money so if moving here is on your mind…you will need to seriously consider listening to all 90 or so of our Podcasts so you don’t make the same mistakes as many have and do…
Today we have a guest who moved to Hawaii and left…and wants to come back, but for now the mainland is their best bet. Tara Coomans, originally from Green Bay, then Scottsdale, moved to Hawaii for 7 1/2 years wonderful years and loved every moment. While in Hawaii she created a Digital Marketing and Branding Firm. She was on numerous nonprofit boards, an active community volunteer and served as an advisor for BlueStartup, a Honolulu incubator. Tara is a Diver, a Kayaker and a beach Lover and she really misses her life and days in Hawaii. Currently she lives with her husband, Jeff and their two Poodles, Stella and Zoey in West LA, but hopes to return one day to where she considers HOME…Hawai’i Nei.
