Hoping to come over as a Diesel Mechanic which is on the long term list. I'm finding it hard to find total cost of living details ie taking into account a taxes, food/ energy costs, car, insurance eating out etc.
My question is will a diesel mechanic wage be enough to support a family with four children? I expect to be able to buy a house with no mortgage.

Thanks

Hi Alan

Welcome to the Forum. :clap:clap

This thread might be of help http://www.emigratenz.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6394&highlight=cost+living

That gives tax rates too.

Generally we find tax here high, insurance (car home and contents) cheaper, eating out cheaper and good value, leccy bills will obviously differ on what you are running.

If you need any more specific costs etc, just ask.

Where are you heading and when? :nice1

Hi, thanks for the link. Will be looking to send off EOI this week and like the look of Christchurch area, not too hot. Just trying to find out any pitfalls early.

Thanks, Alan
