CNBC: Hawaii Most Expensive State In Nation

By /
Following on the heels of a report identifying the Aloha State as the worst place to do business in the country, CNBC now has a report saying we’re also the most expensive state to live in. Check out these metrics:

Avg. Home Price (Honolulu Metro): $742,166

Half Gallon of Milk: $3.41

Pound of Ground Beef: $3.99

Monthly Energy Bill: $333.51

Doctor Visit: $101.80

Alaska is the No. 2 most expensive state, followed by Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. The cheapest state is Oklahoma, the Tornado State. (Kidding: It’s actually the Sooner State.)
