@krockster81: I’ve had so many requests for a US vs. New Zealand cost of living comparison, so here’s our breakdown: Kansas City, USA in US dollars vs. just outside Auckland, NZ in New Zealand dollars. We’re looking at weekly groceries, housing, car insurance, utilities, internet, petrol, and more. New Zealand is known for being expensive, so hopefully this sheds some light on each category. All costs are based on our real bills and lifestyle, so keep in mind your numbers may vary. #fyp #livingabroad #costofliving #newzealandlife #expat

Paradox :
if you have not lived in kc the past few months your 1:1 is gonna be way off. prices for groceries are insane. 1lbs of hamburger is 8$ a bag of chips is 6-8$ now, a stick of deodarant 8$.

Since the $1 US dollar is equal to $1.7 NZ dollar, USA sounds way more expensive in most categories. If you give an estimate salary in each country that will give a better picture.

would be good to see a comparison on monthly household income to better compare what percentage of your income your bills are.

NZ and Australia are more expensive but it’s also offset by much higher wages. But nothing compares to the lifestyle in NZ and AUS
