Finance and budget questions
Hi all,
This is my first post on this blog and it is a very boring one indeed! My husband and I are moving to NZ in Feb 2014 and we are trying to work out our finances and would really appreciate any feedback you have on the amounts we have budgeted. We want to ensure we give ourselves the best possible chance of making it in NZ and have allowed only 3 months finances to back us in case we do not get jobs in this time. Also, we will more thank likely move to Wellington or Auckland to give ourselves a greater chance of getting jobs.
So far we have the following:
Cats £2,600
Flights £2,300
Container/Shipping £2,500
Visas £2,500
Bond £2,250 (6 weeks)
Bills £1,500 (Gas, Elec, Council Tax)
Car £1,000
Living Money £3,000 3 months at 1000/month
Rent £4,500 3 months at 1500/month($600/week)
Total: £28,028
If any of you have any feedback on these amounts we would so appreciate if you could let us know.
Thank you for reading.
Candice and Lowell
