A lot of Americans seem to have an idyllic notion of moving to NZ - often for political or LOTR movie reasons. If you're even toying with the idea, do yourself a favour and check out the following:
- Salaries
- Housing price
- Housing quality - expect to pay top dollar for luxuries like insulation, double-glazed windows, and kitchens built within the last few decades.
- The cost of a car, and the size and quality of the roads
- The cost of electronic appliances, food, etc
Completely unrelated, what's the going salary for an intermediate programmer/analyst in one of those really flat US states full of cornfields?
