If it was my choice, I would never leave. But i'm approaching 74 and my wife would be totally lost if I passed away over here. I have electronic test equipment, electronic gadgets, a table saw, miter saw, drill press, routers and portable and non portable tools I've bought an accumulated over the years. You name it, I probably have it. My wife uses a windows laptop mainly for shopping. She is challenged by the remote control. She would not have a clue as to how to dispose of it or what to ship. I'm not good at garage sales and have put some stuff up on Craig's list but not much response so i'll probably just ship it with me. I have a home in Henderson where my daughter lives. My sister and brother-in-law and three of my nephews also live in Las Vegas. My daughter could help my wife dispose of my things without the rush of moving. Plus, the new home has a two car garage and a separate single car garage I plan to use as a workshop. But, the myth of Hawaii being expensive and Vegas being cheaper goes only so far. You do get much more home for much less money in Vegas then Hawaii. But my property taxes will go from $2655 to $6400. My medical insurance will increase From $332 to $555 per month, with less coverage. My auto insurance for two cars in Hawaii is $527 every six months. It will be about double in Vegas. My electric bill in Hawaii is about $20 a month because I have 20 solar panels on my roof, and a heat pump water heater. All electric house. Almost all LEDs. No need to heat during winter. I will have to pay a gas bill for heating. Higher electric bill, need for warmer clothes. Also sales (excise) tax on Oahu is 4.5%. It is 8.25% in Vegas, but no tax on food there. Groceries should be cheaper. We won't see "only within the continental US" when trying to buy stuff online. Shipping should be mostly free when ordering online. Home fire insurance is about $1000 less because there are no potential hurricanes in Vegas. Plus we have an idiot for a governor over here who stated some months back retesting sirens to warn of a North Korean missile attack, making people apprehensive, and that escalated yesterday when another idiot pressed the wrong button. Of course even in Vegas, I'll still have to deal with that other idiot in the White house who plays "Dare, Double Dare" with the other idiot in North Korea, which to a large extent helped escalate the local idiots into yesterdays debacle. Truly, we are governed by idiots.
