Hi Popeye

As I'm not sure what industry you might be in and on the outside chance you're in Catering/ Hospitality - have a look here:

Re the cost of living:

As an idea nad making it more personal to yourself, why don't you post a 'long thread' on your typical groceries you might purchase, the size of house you're looking for, the area, etc. That way a few people from around the country might have different prices for you to compare to (I live in the south East of England - generally speaking a more expensive area ITO cost and earnings potential.)

There are quite a few factors to take into account and not too sure whether all or if any have any relevance to you down there, earning the NZ Dollar and what your outgoings might be eg:

Road Tax for your car
Insurance
MOT
Petrol Price
Council Tax
Gas
Water
Electricity
Landline Telephone
Mobile Telephone
Household groceries
Entertainment

Comparing them to NZ Dollars might be a little disconcerting - just don't compare to the Rand
