Hi,
We are a large family from UK aiming to emigrate to Auckland in a few months. Would anyone be kind enough to give us their honest opinion as to whether we would be able to 'make ends meet'?
- Initially living on 1 salary, $92,000 per yr before tax (plus 15% annual bonus)
- 2 adults & 6 kids (ranging from 1yr to 13yrs old)
- We would be renting a 5 bedroom property in Papakura area $650/week
- We would be running two cheap cars (which we will buy outright on arrival)
- Countdown weekly online food shop circa $300 (already did virtual weekly shop)
- We live 'modest' lifestyle in UK, do not eat out much etc.
We have a job offer from an accredited employer & work visa / partnership visa / student visa's for kids already in place.
Finding detailed recent info online is much harder than we thought it would be. What other weekly bills & costs should we consider? Utilities, etc. Living a modest lifestyle, is it possible for a large family to survive on $92,000 per year?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks
