Answer 1

my salarie for a prof job in NZ was about 22000 pounds, in the UK about 30000 pounds. I lived a much better standard of tlife in New Zealand. Rent is easily 3-4 times less (i did live in london). eating out, going out- everything else is so much cheaper. Transport and travel is way cheaper- you can actually afford to do things with your spare time.
in terms of hopso jobs you are looking at 5pounds an hour but- 40 pounds is your rent for a week in a nice share accom.

Answer 2

Whatever anyone tells you about New Zealand being cheaper than the UK is a load of rubbish. Saleries are a lot less, minimum wage is $11.50 think that works out to be less than 4 pounds. Not sure about the saleries you asked for you could try www.seek.co.nz which is a job search engine.

The only thing that I would say is significantly cheaper over in New Zealand is Real Estate, you can get a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house with a big garden in auckland for $400,000 try getting that in a British city. Still lifestyle over in NZ is better, more outdoors stuff, decent schools and a laid back attitude.

Salaries are lower, but it's also cheaper to buy a house. So it's fine if you live there, but moving there temporarily isn't a good way to save up money to buy a place back home!
