    Had a longtime friend who lived on the Big Island. He finally talked me in to moving to Hawaii to work for him. He promised many things, such as housing provided with the job, and didn’t deliver. I haven’t spoken to him since I moved back to the mainland in December of 2018.

    That is the handwriting on the wall in large and thick printed letters. Excellent example.

    I basically camped for a little over 4 months. I was in an office trailer with no insulation or a/c, only had a fridge, had an outhouse outside and an outdoor sink. I had to go to his truck shop to shower.

    Except we had agreed on where I’d be living over 6 months (180 day quarantine for my dog) before I packed up to move. My vehicle was already on the boat headed over and he said “your place isn’t quite done so you might have to rough it for a while”. So I kept an open mind but after 4 months and no progress on the house I was supposed to be in I cut my losses. All told it cost me about $12k for a four month working vacation in Hawaii.

    They are the owners, and you're the mule. You're not family. You're a revenue stream.

    You want to stay friends, not sure this is advisable. Other, better options out there
