The Initial Cost of Moving - It Takes More Than It Should

Hi guys!
How's it going?


Before moving to Hawaii, I estimated that the initial cost of moving would be around 8000 to 10,000 dollars.

Boy I was wrong.

After paying these below,
1. Car shipping from Long Beach, CA to Honolulu: $1070
2. Two one-way air tickets from LA to Honolulu: $950
3. Security deposit and first month rent: $4000
it became already six grand!!
This doesn't even include the cost of rental cars, furniture, food and so on.

The total intial cost turned out to be around 20,000 for the two of us. It was a 1 bed room apt. to 1 bed room apt. moving.

We have moved back and forth between Los Angeles and West Coast Canada four times and each time it cost about $3000 to $6000. But West Coast US to Hawaii costs a lot more for sure! Three to four times more.

It takes more than it should. Keep in mind, it really does!
