    350$ for a 1 bedroom house??? It is quite low price. In Wellington, the same is 500-550 $. And you calculated quite low food money. We spend 3-400/week with a 2.5 years old child. Daycare is plus 350 $per week.

    Hi, a question about transportation:
    Is it possible to travel around in New Zeland by bicycle or a car is a must ?

    • @ortegajulzzz
      @ortegajulzzz  Рік тому

      Hi! In some cities biking is a suitable form of transport. However this does depend on the city as some cities have better bike lane than others. And also, it depends how big the city is. For example where I live in Hamilton, its quite a big city so biking might be a little difficult if you want to get to the other side of town for example.

    • @mikenlife7005
      @mikenlife7005 Рік тому

      If you mean traveling NZ as country, then you can do it on a bicycle, but you would have to do your research thoroughly on the correct months to do this as winter can be quite cold and wet.

      @CryptoKiwi Рік тому

      No. After tax you're getting 68k. Average rent for a 3 bedroom in Wellington is 40k a year so you're left with 28k for car, food, fuel, insurance, clothing.
      it's doable but you will not be able to save for a house or holidays

    I live in Wellington cost 500 a WK food rent power wifi
    I live off the government with subsidise rent and get 220 in hand after expensives
    But someone asked me to work for them and offered 25 and hour 40 hour a wk, around 1000 a wk, sound ok right but if it cost 500 and I get 315 from government that equals 815, so for a full wk if working I get 1000, so 1000 take away 815 equals 185 in hand that's less than what I get from the government and I don't have to work my ass off.
    So why would I work
    If you don't earn over $50 an hour don't expect to buy a house or have enough money for holidays or savings
    The funny thing is there's a labour shortage in New Zealand but New Zealand employers and business owners would rather reduce the annual profits even to the point of financial bankruptcy than stabilising their market share an overall profits by paying workers more so they stay but they don't pay them MORE so their workers leave
    Then they go on the news screaming there's no workers I hope all their businesses burn
    The fact is since the early 80s New Zealand economy has been designed to exploit the working and middle class.
    It just came out millionaires in New Zealand pay 9% less tax that a person on minimum wage WTF.
    DONT MORE HERE IF YOU ARE WORKING OR MIDDLE-CLASS YOU ARE FUCKED.

    Cost of living is extremely high and unaffordable for many native new zealanders housing crisis it's getting to point where immigration is being cracked down on.
    Like housing market is banned for foreginers who have no interest in living here now thats only reserved for New Zealanders only.
    Minimum wage isnt enough to live off which is $22.70 x40 hrs a week but you'll easily lose a full day work to tax lose another day to miscellaneous things child support, student loans, kiwisaver, then out of remaining amount your left with it get eaten up by rent power and worst is food then other things like petrol.
    $700 a week doesnt get far barely afford the basics of that . I live off $300 savings after everything goes out rent power food misc things but you'll work yourself hard out for those dollars.

      Another recommendation in Rotorua is the Redwoods Treewalk. I haven't done this myself but I've heard wonderful things. And of course the geothermal walks like, this website might help: www.yha.co.nz/blogs/travel/rotoruas-best-geothermal-spots

      Most rental places are weekly or fortnightly as it aligns with our pay. I don't know any employer who pays monthly (I'm sure there are). You ca always chat with your landlord and negotiate paying monthly instead if that's what suits your situation.

      In NZ we pay weekly because it's convenient that you can organize to pay rent immediately after you get your pay every week.
      Then your bank acct never shows more money than you can spend.
      It makes budgeting super easy.

      Helsinki, Finland is so expensive to live in. The average rent of a single-room apartment is 950€. And that includes the cheaper areas of the city. In the central part of Helsinki you’re gonna have to pay around 1500€ rent for a single-room apartment. And what makes it even worse is that this place is very generic and boring. It’s a healthy society but Finland is not a country for anyone who wants excitement in life.
