Why is it hard to save money in New Zealand?

Hi jepoyserveg,

Maybe you should start a new topic concerning the cost of living on New Zealand forum.

Thank you.

After three months more like it. Hah! Well in my opinion it depends where you live, whether or not you have a job, and how you end up spending your time here. But like gourav said, spending time exploring the beauty of NZ it won't be as boring.

Its absolutely fantastic to be in NZ. It all depends on which visa to come here. Options are visitor visa, business visa, student visa or residency visa etc. Think about your goals and let me know if you need any further information. you can reach me at [email protected] or ring me at +64225190999

I see you come from Hastings. It's clearly obvious why you're bored. Hastings is the equivalent of nowhere. It's a place that people go through to get somewhere else.

If you want some more excitement, perhaps move somewhere else?

He's right in what he says. New Zealand isn't known famously for it's cities. Auckland is a nice city but can't really compare it to say Bangkok, New York, Paris?

New Zealand is known as the paradise in the bottom of the South Pacific. It's a place of low population and lots of space. Have a look at the South Island and then you might get some idea of NZ is really about. If Hasting is all you have to go on, then ya just gotta get up off your butt, turn off the television and have a look around. Near you is a beautiful area called Mahia Peninsula, or try Lake Waikaremoana, these are all within a few hours drive.

I'm quite strange in that I love Auckland as a city. It's a large city but still laid back, which is fantastic for me. The whole of New Zealand is gorgeous, just going for a short drive can be breathtaking.

But it does depend a lot on what is important to you.

Been here almost five years now and I have yet to be bored! I guess it's what you are used to!

I agree with Jimaba. I really like Auckland. There is a lot going on. It's a beautiful city with a decent amount of cultural events. It's a small city, for sure, so you're not going to get the New York or Berlin experience. But it's much more livable than New York, in my opinion! If only Auckland could deal with its notorious car problem, it could be one of the best cities on earth.

What about smaller towns in NZ? What is, in your opinion and/or experience, the best place for a family with a small child?
