RMD money - what a great "problem" to have. But, wow! Living on $3k/month is pretty good. I mentioned somewhere recently that that's about what I consider our "Paradise Tax" or something like that. I feel sure there are places on the mainland we could live for close to $3K less per month.
Heh, heh, if I were the envious type, I would envy your COLA. My modest pension has no COLA so after 16+ years it buys a lot less than it used to. Oh, well. That was the deal so YMMV.
Koolau, Im guessing you have a little extra cabbage hidden in the garden to pay for paradise besides your modest non cola pension. As my pension is cola’d and has basically went from $70k to $100k, and there is no way I could afford living in Hawaii! Or at least in a manner that most would want to live in a modest retirement, ha!
