Honolulu is the Least Stressed City

August 24, 2016 by Maureen Fukumoto Leave a Comment

In a recent article by MSN Money, Honolulu boasted the lowest health and safety related stress in the nation. Of course, even in paradise, people have a typical work and money stresses but when you are looking out to a beautiful view of the ocean and white sandy beaches are just minutes away, it can certainly relieve a lot of work and money related stress.Honolulu is the Least Stressed City

Stress is an inevitable feeling. Just about every life situation could give you some form of stress whether it’s work, school, kids or family. However, some stress is good and gives us the push and drive we need to succeed, persevere and break through certain obstacles. According to the American Psychological Association, stress is generally trending downward in the United States since 2007. In the recent article originally from Wallet Hub.com, Honolulu came in at 148 of the least stressful cities in the US. It also came in as one of the highest credit scores overall in general but had one of the highest housing costs. This is to be expected since housing in Honolulu is higher than the national average.

One of the biggest things that lead to stress for Oahu residences is traffic. There’s always construction going on somewhere but we also have a more laid-back mentality. That, added to stressful situations makes them a little bit more bearable.

Reasons to live in Hawaii:

We have a lot of reasons people move to Hawaii but relieving stress is certainly at the top of the list. Our temperatures are perfect as it never gets over 100°F colder than about 45° and we have constant trade winds that keep fresh air blowing across the island. This disperses whatever pollution we may incur and keeps the temperature at a comfortable rate. There are a variety of things to do including shopping, sightseeing and beautiful historical attractions like Pearl Harbor. There are over 12 mountain ridge hikes on Oahu alone with peaks of over 4000 feet. And Hawaii is extremely diverse. The way of life, things to do and culture all add to the charm, peacefulness, and tranquility of the Hawaiian Islands.

If you’re planning on moving from the mainland it’s important to know that Hawaii is like any other big city; there are jobs available if you have the skills and experience. To comfortably move to the Hawaiian Islands it’s a good idea to have about $10,000 in savings. This will help all transportation costs, living arrangements once you arrive and any personal belonging shipment.
