Hawaii ranked worst state to make a living

[Newgirl]

Wow Mimosa, who knew I gave away so much information divulging so little? First, I've lived in Kansas for 7 years, people were nice but I couldn't leave the place fast enough. I wouldn't have bothered to come here if it I wanted place similar to what I left. What would be the point? The last place I lived was considerably more expensive, Puna is actually a bargain. I buy local products when I can, I barely consume anything that's shipped here from the mainland (that I'm aware of).

I grew up on a little island in the pacific and lived on many other islands, so island life is nothing new, and I've experienced the power and internet outage, but if it becomes an extended issue, I can always drive over to the Kona side.

I hope I did not give the impression that I'm unhappy, I'm actually tickled pink to be here.
