How are we supposed to live here
Our take
Living in Hawaii is becoming increasingly challenging, and the rising cost of essentials is weighing heavily on many families. While we consider ourselves fortunate to have a "cheap" two-bedroom home, the prices for groceries and everyday items continue to climb. My parents hold steady jobs—my dad as a truck driver and my mom as a special education teacher—but even with my landscaping work, we find it difficult to make ends meet. As the cost of a simple Costco run rises and gas prices soar, it’s disheartening to see how the working class is expected to thrive in such an expensive environment. It feels like we’re navigating a constant uphill battle just to maintain a decent quality of life. K rant ovah.
Small kine rant but stuffs getting more and more expensive by the day.
Rent for my family luckily is "cheap" considering we have a 2 bedroom place. But its been getting increasingly more and more expensive to get food.
my parents both have relatively good jobs(trucker and sped teacher/sub) I've been working landscaping for a while now, my siblings still stay in school. And yet its still just not enough, we are barely able to make it. Costco runs have gotten a lot more expensive, gas is on the rise, I have no idea how the working class is supposed to survive in Hawaii.
