When I was there, many of my loacal friends struggled. Worked multiple jobs, still lived at home (with family) well into adulthood, or had several roommates. Unless you're rich, or have access to the bases, plan to spend 4K month minimum for "relative" comfort. If you have preconceived notion's of living the way you do on mainland, be prepared to give a lot of things up.
I may move back, but I understand fully what it takes to live there, and have a local support system (friends/family), but it isn't a move for the faint of heart. The beaches are beautiful if you're not living on them and starving.
