we're talking about the costs of just about everyhing.

The ten states with the highest cost of living are Hawaii, Massachusetts, California, New York, Alaska, Maryland, Oregon, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Hawaii is the state with the highest cost of living in the US, with a cost of living index of 184.

On Hawaii I continue to hear auto fuel is lower than CA (high taxes) and the fuel is shipped across the ocean.

Over a 1/2 million people have left CA and moved to FL and TX and a few other states.....

My family gave that some thought early on in March 2020, but find it very difficult to leave their roots..
