Nice, you found a good bit or information! It's cheaper here than in many places in the world, or even in the rest of Hawaii, so you can get by on less. Many people retire here, and I'd say it's a great place to do it. There are people from all over the world here, including from all over Asia, so I don't think that you'd feel out of place at all. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Retiring in Lower Puna, Hawaii, can be a good idea if you're seeking a quiet, nature-filled environment, but it depends on your preferences and financial situation. Here's what you need to consider:
Housing: Property prices or rent in Lower Puna can be lower compared to other parts of Hawaii. A modest home may cost between $200,000 and $400,000. Renting can be around $800 to $1,500 per month.
Utilities and Groceries: Expect higher prices for utilities, groceries, and other goods due to Hawaii’s remote location. Groceries are generally 30-50% more expensive than the mainland U.S., and utilities are also higher.
Healthcare: Healthcare costs in Hawaii can be expensive, but you'll have access to good care. You might want to consider additional health insurance.
Taxes: Hawaii has high state income taxes and property taxes. You’ll need to plan for these in your budget.
If you plan to live a more frugal, laid-back lifestyle, you may need less money. A budget of $3,000 to $5,000 per month can cover basic living expenses, but this varies depending on your housing situation and personal spending habits.
As a Malaysian, retiring in Hawaii (U.S.) would require a visa, typically a long-term one like an investor visa or retirement visa. You cannot simply retire there without proper immigration status, so you may want to consult with an immigration lawyer.
A comfortable retirement plan might require at least $500,000 to $1 million in savings to ensure a good quality of life, considering longevity and unexpected costs.
(So I need 500k to 1million I don't know if this is right what do you think?)
I don't think that you would need anywhere near 1 million dollars. If you're off-grid, with a solar electric system, and rain water collection, those are two utilities which would be free, after the initial infrastructure investment. You can also grow a lot of your own food. You can do a lot more here with less money. There is always a way. Keep a few hundred thousand HBD in Savings and you'll likely be golden. It all just depends on where and how you want to live. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
True it's better to ask you because you're currently living there let's see how it goes. What about visa?

!INDEED, true that! While I obviously don't know everything that you might like to know, I do know a good bit, and I also have a fair amount of experience, too. Well, we have people visiting GaiaYoga from all over the world, so I know visas aren't very difficult to get, though I don't know anything about retirement visas. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
