？
For example, a Vuitton bag is more difficult to use than an easy-to-use woolen bag, or a Ferrari is more expensive than a Corolla because of its narrow and uncomfortable ride.
For example, a person who posts a flashy post on a social networking site may have more followers than a person who posts a plain post.
Especially young people.
Don't you think we should look more at the essence and seek comfort in life ？?

#1 Aloha Topix

America is a free country.

Don't you think it's good to be different from others in what you like and what you are good at ？

If everyone was the same, it would make life more difficult with all the competitors.

If everyone in Hawaii only bought Corollas, ？ we would have to wait six months for them to arrive, or some other inconvenience.

Everyone has different likes, dislikes, and budgets, and that's ok. Let's focus on individuality.

But I guess it's a national trait that many Americans are vain enough to drive Mercedes Benzes even when renting. Japanese people who drive Mercedes Benz are still only wealthy people who own multiple properties.

That's not true.
When I was in Japan, there were numerous people who drove BMW, MERCEDES, VOLVO, etc. even though they were renting.

Japan and Hawaii are different.

Japan has too many earthquakes and disasters, so many people think it is a good idea not to buy a house.

I heard from someone whose house was swept away by a tsunami and their insurance did not cover it.

I think renting is safer and more secure in Japan because renting is cheap, you can save money in a deposit, and if you buy a new house it will go down quickly.

In Hawaii, people who have been renting for several decades are suffering from the hardships of life.

I think the key to living a prosperous retirement without lowering your standard of living is how you invest in real estate, stocks, crypto assets, etc.

during your working years.

I would not wish to purchase a house in Hawaii at a high price, even if I had the money.

I don't care if it's a beautiful condo or house on the mainland...

To each his own value.

Then again, I don't think renting is a hardship.
That way of thinking is prejudice.

There are rich people who live in hotels.
I envy them more.

I lived in Tokyo, which is not a disaster area and rents are expensive. And I've lived in several states around the US and I've never seen a luxury car for rent. I'm sure there are a lot of luxury renters though.

Perhaps
if you are concerned about vain people, you have some kind of backwardness toward them deep inside
though you are not aware of it.
Others are others and you are yourself, so are the vain people you think are directly harming you? It may be the darkness of your mind.
It's times like this when it's even more important ・ ・ ・ ・.

#5 What the What Mr.

Few of my friends and acquaintances rent.
This is because they are not temps living in Hawaii.
Temporaries and students would be more comfortable renting.

Unlike Japan, the lack of properties in Hawaii will either increase in value or remain the same.
So if you buy, you get $240,000 back by selling
what you would have paid for 10 years as a renter, and you could have lived there for 10 years for free. If you are lucky and sell at the right time, you can double your money back to $480,000.
You know how much money renting is a waste in Hawaii.
As long as you get the location right, Hawaii is a worthwhile real estate investment
which is why there are so many frequent sales and purchases.
But it's all about balance, so some owners are probably helped
by people who can't get a loan and some who rent.

#6 DeeDee-san
I used to live in Tokyo, and you can still find 1DK rentals in Tokyo for under 100,000 yen.
In Hawaii, 1Bd has doubled in 10 years, so $1000 to $2000.
(Popular location, secure large condo only)

Meet the local for rentals and see what they have to offer.
Many men drive BMWs and Mercedes.

Your home's value may fluctuate.
There is no guarantee that your home will increase in value.
In fact, it may decrease in value.

Many Japanese living in Hawaii are
concerned about themselves compared to others. Especially at work, people who can't talk about their misfortune are the target of envy. Japanese people like to mount each other. I watch from a distance, but there are many adults who are not mature.
It's Hawaii alu alu.

I understand what you are saying, Topi.
These Japanese people living in Hawaii are full of bad words, lies, and vanity.
There is always a lawyer or a doctor in the family of such people.
They must be worried about themselves compared to others. In a way, I think they are mentally ill.

I have lived in Hawaii for 10 years. I've lived in Hawaii for 10 years, and I've seen many people compare themselves with others.

What about 00-san, 00-san bought some luxury condo
and so on.

I am not involved in the Japanese community in Hawaii at all.

It's just business. I can't keep up with it and it's annoying.

I used to live in Torrance, CA and it's the same thing. I was also in Westchester, New York and it could be even more amazing.
Maybe it's a trait that Japanese people are more or less like that rather than Japanese people in Hawaii.

I think it is the same for all races, no matter where they live. Compared to others.

I don't think it's about that, I think it's key to be a visionary.

Now, people in their 20s to 50s won't feel that different from others.

Someday, when we are in our 60s or older, there will be a disparity.

Because if we had the same amount of rent and pension when we get our Social Security,

we would not be able to eat in Hawaii unless we have a lot of money in our savings.

Such people are returning to Japan.

If the mortgages are over when they reach pension age, they will be able to live comfortably with their pension, savings, and the profit from the sale of the house

if they replace the 3 bd house with a 1 bd house, etc.

The difference is that you would have purchased the house during your working years or you would continue to pay rent until you die for the rest of your life.

Look at people who are now living on pensions and realize ？ which you will be and act quickly.

I didn't feel that much difference with people until I was in my 50s.　I definitely feel a gap when I look at the people around me after 60,
I agree with Lala's opinion.

Ladies and gentlemen,

no matter how many pretty words you say, when you die, you'll be naked.

Everyone

No matter how beautiful you are, you are already naked when you die

↓

so what ？ who does not know that.

I don't know what cleanliness means.

Living on the edge, just before you die? A graceful old age?

It's up to you which way you want to go.

It's a difference in values, so it's hard to say what's right in general.

I think criticizing people with different values is a waste of time and effort.

In a good way or a bad way, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
