You can't put anything personal in the car, the only thing you can put in the trunk is the spare tire, and if you are sent by Mattson, you will have to bring your personal belongings back in a box for inspection, and they won't accept a gas tank unless it is less than a quarter of a tank.

We containerized our household goods and car together.
In doing so, I put clothes, dishes, etc. in the car, trunk, and back seat. It may not be possible to deliver only the car, though.
It was cheaper than shipping the household goods and the car separately.

We have one child, but we didn't have a lawyer, we both went to court to file and it only took a month. This was before Corona, so it may take longer now. The documents were checked by the concierge at the court, and we were able to correct and submit them after checking them with each other, so it was a smooth process.

Like Sean0914, I went back to work when my son was 3 months old. In my case, I decided not to go back full time right away, but to return to work on a short time basis in the same industry I've always worked in.

There were two reasons I did not return full time.

It was my first time raising a child, and I wanted to devote myself to childcare for a while.
I didn't think I could survive on the same standard of living as before with babysitters and day care. \I was not sure I would be able to live with the same standard of living with a babysitter or daycare. I was trying to find a day care that would allow me to live at the same standard of living that I had been living at $. I think I did a lot of things by trial and error.
As a result, I did not rely on the government, but with the help of others, my child grew up to elementary school age and I am now doing the work I want to do.

Hello.
I am also pregnant and hope to return to work a few months after giving birth.
I am looking for a day care or sitter, how do you all find one ？
I would like to be referred to one if you don't mind.

It's a daycare, but you can use an organization called PATCH to search for registered daycares. → https://www.patchhawaii.org/find-child-care/ It will show you the number of people available at each day care, etc. I think you would have to call and request a tour. It is difficult to know the reputation of the day care center from the people who actually use it, so you have to rely on your own intuition when you see it. The only other option would be to ask someone you know for help.

Also, there are programs that subsidize child care costs, although there are income restrictions → https://childcaresubsidyapplication.dhs.hawaii.gov/ It's all in English, so it's hard to read, but it's worth a read. It is worth a read.

Thank you all for your replies. This question is one that different couples make different decisions about, and there is no answer.
Your opinions are very helpful because we all have one thing in common: we live in Hawaii.

I received a list from PATCH and found a relatively inexpensive day care, so I applied to the Wait List as soon as I could.
Sean0914 mentioned affordable home sitters （ I was not introduced to any ？ ） that are not officially registered, so I will try to find a home sitter. Also, both my husband and I are currently off on weekends, but we have discussed with them that one of our options would be to change his day off to a weekday. I would miss not having a day off together, but it would save an amazing amount of money.
I also thought it would be nice to make friends with other pregnant women like Minmin and do some nanny sharing ？.

As for assistance, unfortunately our income seemed to be too high to apply for assistance.
But we will not give up and will try to find a consultation service.

I can't imagine going back to work after 3 months at all, but I feel that it would be better to just try it and if it is too tough, become a housewife.
（ It is also quite difficult to quit once and find a place to work again ）

Again, thank you all for sharing information.

Also, I will put a call for pregnant women friends in another thread, so please let me know if you do.

a deal.
It would be a good idea to do your own research

Hawaii Five-O

To begin with, in the US, where the used car market is huge, ＄ cars under 10000 don't last long.
Unless you buy one in good condition from a private individual.
＄ If you are paying only ＄ 5000, not even 5000, it's not a bad car. Japanese people assume too much about the price of a car in the Japanese sense, but you should abandon that idea.
The store is not deceiving you.
It is just that Japanese people do not understand American used cars. As you say, it is best to go with someone who knows cars when buying a car.

I just thought so because I fix my car myself to some extent. If you don't fix it, I guess it's not expensive even if it's under $1000.
I forgot to write there. I used to drive a $1000 car for 6-7 years.

A friend of mine uses Dupixent and I asked him about it and he said he gets it prescribed by a dermatologist named Dr. Ryan Sato. He said his friend's insurance is HMSA. He said that without insurance it would cost him $1,000 a bottle, and that he has a friend who has Kiser insurance and gets his prescriptions from other doctors. Sorry I don't know the details as it is not my own, but I hope I can be of some help.

My son used them until last year.
Both hospital and insurance are Kaiser.
They won't give you ointment or drink medicine without test results that don't work, so if you are still in Japan and it is possible,
I think it would go smoothly if you get your current certificates and test results from your doctor.

The cost is about $ 700 for 3 months of one injection every 2 weeks, self-injection.
The reason I stopped was because my son got married and was told that it could affect his children if he continued.
I have now changed to UV treatment.

I myself have been in Hawaii for 30 years, but
in Japan, it was so bad that I got Zurumuke.
but in Hawaii, I feel better
because of the climate, humidity and clean air.
But my son was fine as a child, but it started to get worse when he was in high school.

Dupixent was developed in the U.S., so I think you can get a prescription from a dermatologist.
But it is expensive.

If it really is milia, there is no dirt, sebum, or plaque stuck inside that pockmarked little wart-like thing.
It means it is a harmless cyst ？ of dead skin cells trapped under the skin. They disappear naturally
but I read in an article in Woman's Health that the only thing you can do if you are really concerned about them is to have them removed by a dermatologist or use a skin smoothing cream
such as retinol, to speed up the process.
In other words, over-the-counter medications won't help, and if you can't wait for it to go away, go to a dermatologist or esthetician.
It's pointless to crush it because it's not clogged up with anything, and it will cause inflammation and more trouble, so I guess I should leave it alone ？.

By the way, as a rough estimate,
$ 1,000,000 assessed value with home exemption
( $ 1,000,000 - $ 100,000)*0.35% = $ 3,150

With recent home price hikes, the increase from a year ago $ 1,200,000. 1,200,000, which is an increase from the previous assessment, and without the home exemption
$ 1,000,000*0.45% + $ 200,000*1.05% = $ 6,600.

The order is backwards.
I have a post before #5 with a URL link, but it is not showing up, so
I'll post it without the link.


I'm a complete novice, but
I found a detailed property tax calculation at the following link.

I heard that for a regular single family home, the tax is calculated as assessed property value x 0.35%.

I guess owner occupied or not is applicable to Home exemption.
They say that if you file a Home exemption, $ 100,000 will be deducted from the assessed property value.
This difference is not that big.

Just not owner occupied （ No home excemption filed ） Property is
Residential A Tax Rate (two tiered) and $ up to 1,000,000 0.45% for up to 1,000,000 and 1.05% for $ 1,000,000 excess.
This is probably the case this time.

Also, even if the property tax rate remains the same, property taxes should increase if the assessed property value soars.

Your questioner （ G. ） is correct.　Your sister is incorrect.
As stated on the following website, beginning in FY 2023, the tax rate is higher for property that is not used by the owner as a primary residence.
Therefore, it is very possible that property taxes will double.
Please take the time to read the following website for a better understanding.

https://realhawaii.co/blog/understanding-oahus-property-taxes#:~:text=(1)%20Residential%3A%200.35%25,value%20of%20 less%20than%20%241%2C000%2C000.

If you do not live there, the category is "Residential A".
It will be partially tacked on from the website.

The Residential A Honolulu Property Tax Rate applies to properties where an owner doesn't claim the home exemption and the

An example of the Honolulu Residential A property tax rate:

A 50- year-old woman has a $ 1,000,000 units. Since this is her second home, she does not have an exemption. The estimated annual taxes up to $ 1,000,000 are $ 4,500 ($ 1,000,000 x 0.0045), and the yearly property taxes above $ 1,000, 000 000 are $ 6,300 ($ 600,000 x 0.0105). Therefore the total taxes for her second property are $ 10,800 per year ( $ 6,300 + $ 4,500).

You will be asked for proof of residency or non-residency.　See below.

You may prove that the home is your primary residence by filling out a form and showing evidence that you are registered to vote in Honolulu, and file an income tax return as a State of Hawaii resident, or occupy the home 270 days or more each calendar year.

A friend of mine had a similar situation, but after consulting with a lawyer, it seems that there are various loopholes, so why don't you leave it to the lawyer's judgment?

But the contractor himself doesn't actually live there ？ If that's the case, I don't think your sister has the right to blame anyone.

As stated above, you lied on your tax return. ？ I think it is wrong to blame others for the increase in taxes. I think you got what you deserved. The best thing to do is to stay out of it. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. However, in this day and age, there is no doubt that taxes are skyrocketing everywhere.
Unfortunately.

However, as ＃ 4kouji said, the price of houses in Hawaii is going up so much that it is inevitable
for homeowners to have to pay higher taxes every year ？ if you don't want to pay taxes, just lease. If you don't want to pay taxes, just live in a lease.
We also sold our house and live in a lease.
