I want to move back to New Zealand to be near my grandchildren but it's not financially viable. OPINION: I'm on the hunt for a job in New Zealand. I was expecting to be paid less as I moved to Australia initially due to the low wages offered in New Zealand. The average rent in New Zealand is much higher than what I would pay in mortgage repayments here in Western Australia, so I settled on an estimate of $500 per week. However, I would need a car at some point so I will still need to save for another one.
