Question for newzealanders or people who have lived there? -

would a person living in wellington earning 2500nzd a month AFTER TAX no rent/mortgage to pay for(he has no debts, his house is already entirely paid off) would be considered an average earner? also, this person doesn t drive, he uses public transport in order to save money. thoughts?|::::|Public Transport is very cheap. That will be above average. You will live very comfortably with that amount of money.|::::|That would considered to be slightly above average amp; would equate to about $40K per year - before tax. However, it depends on how old this person is. Have a look at the attached link - it s census data for NZ from 2006. (if the link doesn t work just go to www.stats.govt.nz amp; follow the links to the 2006 census.|::::|Dunno if that person is average but I d like to be him. I d be thrilled to earn $2500/month and not have to worry about house payments or other debts!|::::|I would say thats above average,and not many people have that choice,lot of people pay morgage,rent,etc...........................|::::|This would be above average. Public transport is pretty cheap, and easy to use.|::::|above average
