How about somewhere less expensive to get to and less expensive to live in? A thumb or a greyhound bus ticket is a lot less expensive than a plane ticket.

There also aren't that many un-occupied spaces on the islands so finding crash space with limited funds is very difficult. Houses and apartments are very small and any extra space is rented out to help cover either the monthly rent or the mortgage. What about some of the other states? Most of them are at least attached to California.

With Hawaii's poor economic situation compared to some of the other states, I would make this one of the last states to move to. If you get stuck here, it takes an expensive plane flight to leave.

advise now...and you have no money. I would advise...ahmm....Texas?

Not Hawaii....worse for jobs, and a bit higher cost of living.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking - it's too hard to give you advice on where to go, and how to get there, without knowing how you find yourself in this situation. My best thought would be that you have to learn how to take care of yourself, because relying on others doesn't seem to be working.

The last folks I met who had moved over here from California, from somewhere in the L.A. area, said they were afraid of cannibals. They thought if it got much worse over there folks might start eating each other. Maybe that's why the OP is all anxious to leave sunny California.

If you have $2,000 on hand, you could purchase a plane ticket from CA to Hawaii and look on craigslist for a room in a shared apartment in Honolulu. It would cost you around $500-700 depending on the renter. Of course then, you have to get a job...

Airfare: Hotwire

Rooms: Honolulu Craigslist Shared Rentals
