Show Notes:

If you are considering emigrating to New Zealand from America then you'll have some questions. And I'm guessing that the number one concern is the USA vs New Zealand cost of living.

There is talk about town that the wages are lower in New Zealand and the cost of living is higher.

Have you heard that too?

Well, today you're in for a treat! In this week's podcast, we talk to Ryan. Ryan left the US 5 years ago to live in NZ.

The USA vs New Zealand Cost of Living

In this week's podcast from New Zealand Ryan shares insights into some of the (crucial) costs that Americans forget to take into consideration when assessing the wage difference in New Zealand vs the USA.

Wages:

Are they higher or lower in New Zealand

Tax:

How much can you expect to pay and how is that different to the US?

Insurance:

What insurance do you need in New Zealand?

Healthcare:

Healthcare in the USA is a major cost. Does the same apply in New Zealand?

We LOVE Housesitting in New Zealand. Want to Try it too?

If you have been following us for a while, then you will know that we traveled the World for one year with our kids in 2018 and for 6 months in 2022 by ourselves. While we were traveling, we did a lot of housesitting. We are constantly asked how we did this and if we can share the website that we used. So here it is:

The initial 'looking part' is free. You can oggle all of the beautiful houses around New Zealand that are waiting for YOU to look after them. Take a sneak peek here! (As I say, looking is completely free, so gander to your heart's content).

Then, if you are serious about using Housesitting as a tool to travel the world for free (as we do), you can use my exclusive discount code to save yourself 20% by Clicking here.

Still not sure about paying for a Housesitting membership? Remember that the cost of a yearly membership (approx $80 using the discount code above) will be paid back (and more) on the first housesitting night. It really is that simple!
