My fiancee really wants to move to Oahu to be close to his dad. We are both recent graduates and we have accumulated about 50,000 in student loans. Can two people who are already starting out in debt really afford to live there? I don't want to get myself in over my head. We are also going to have to rent rather than buy, but we have a cat and a dog. After they have been quarantined, are we going to be able to find an apartment that will accept pets?
