I am single and retired and would like a peaceful place to recline for the rest of my life. The contiguous 48 states amount to one big nut house and I am looking to better horizons; my monthly income is around 3500 p/month. Which island is best for reasonable cost of living? I am into the simple pleasures of life and need no more than a studio apt and some nice easy waves to massage my old body. I've seen some reasonably priced studio apts on C'sList. Bugs? It's those dangerous human species that I fear-much more than a little centipede. I lived with them (deadly centipedes) in Vietnam. Bobawana Hedstrodamus (Bob)

Reason: to add last name
As stated previously, living in Waikiki/Kaka'ako affords me the opportunity to live sans auto. Who says living in Hawaii is expensive?
Perhaps Honolulu drivers as reported by Hawaii News Now:
"Hawaii News Now has learned that an email was sent to about 20 Honolulu police officers listing how many citations need to be issued. The warning was sent by a sergeant to members of one traffic unit last week.
It says, "Some of you are consistently lagging in your stats!"... "If you are not bringing in your citations - 2 per hour"... "and a drunk driving arrest, 2 to 3 per week"... "your take home car will remain at the station… the keys given to me at the end of your shift."
Members of the unit are among the few allowed the privilege of taking home marked, blue-and-white patrol cars. Former police chief Lee Donohue supports the policy."
