answer:I don’t live there, but I can tell you generally it is very expensive to live there. Island living usually means at least some groceries are very expensive, so that means restaurants can be too. Housing is expensive also like most fabulous weather places in America with decent sized cities. I just read that Honolulu, Hawaii has one of the best statistics for life expectancy, people have less cancer and fewer major illnesses. I lived in FL, and for me living in beaitiful weather the majority of the year changed my life, I loved it.
