Hawaii also has better health insurance provisions than other states. I've lived in New York and California, and there are quite a few companies that don't offer health insurance even if you work full time. I worked without insurance for 3 years after the Lehman Brothers collapse and moved to Hawaii after learning about Hawaii's insurance policy. Welfare is also not as extensive as in Japan, and this is true for the U.S. as a whole. And I am sure that you have signed a form saying that you do not accept welfare. I am not qualified to tell you not to come here, so I won't say that, but I think it will be tough even if you go to other states. And if you are in another state, English will be a bottleneck. If you can't do that, I suggest you leave other states off the list.

Do you know about the preschool situation in Hawaii ？
If you are 3 years old, $ about 900 per month is normal.
If you work full time, your company will pay for your own health insurance, but health insurance for two children will be close to $ 1000 per month.
Rent is expensive in Hawaii, and unless you live in a very upscale neighborhood, it is normal for a couple to make both incomes.

#7 Mr. Different from Japan
posted the income of a normal family living in Hawaii.
If your two children are in public school, I think you can live on it, but
if they are in private school, you can't very well live on a household income of $80,000.
You need at least twice this amount, at least $150,000-160,000, to be able to pay your mortgage and other bills.
Japan has a high level of education even in public, so it is better to live in Japan until you can read and write Kanji
I think it is better to live in Japan to save money.
Hawaii has the lowest level of education in the 48 states, the same as Alaska.
Many Japanese couples or families where the wife is Japanese choose
private schools for their children.

Since renting for a long time is a waste of money,
you should save up enough money to buy a house before you move to the US.

Topic: Haru

I am a single mother who moved to Hawaii 13 years ago with my two children (6 and 15 years old at the time).
My status is 10 years green card because my divorced partner is American. I was naive to think that I could manage without any knowledge at the time, so my savings ran out in a few months.
I didn't want to bother my parents, so I seriously considered camping out on the beach with my kids 😅
I finally got a job and managed to get a place to live, but the rent is too expensive in Hawaii anyway.
My income at the time went to rent and a little money for food, and even with childcare expenses I was barely making ends meet.
There is no childcare allowance or child allowance like in Japan. There seems to be support for low income people, but
it seems to be caught by the lottery program immigration law that the above mentioned person mentioned.
In my case, my older son was 15 and I earned as much as I could, full time, anyway, to take care of my younger son.
I heard that the laws are much stricter than in Japan and it is very difficult to have a small child.
Nowadays, due to Corona, it takes a long time to make reservations online in many situations, and I think the current situation is quite difficult.

Children who grow up seeing their parents working hard are very protective of their parents.
I think it is because of that difficult life that we are now able to lead a fulfilling and happy life, cherishing the bond between the three of us, parent and child.

Good luck in raising your children ！.

I am new to this site and have been reading the various topics. There are not always pleasant comments, whether kind or nasty.

I think those of you who are married to American citizens must have had no idea what you were getting yourself into until you got married. 、、、、
I am sure you probably struggled with this at the beginning of your marriage and still do now.
I think it is nasty advice because it is not fulfilling.
I feel sorry for you.

Haru, the topical person, is just asking the residents, but it's offensive with the kind of head-butting that makes me feel bad.
I thought it was a good idea to write about it because I don't know your identity.

Japanese people are very nasty.

Excuse me.
