Most people who decide to migrate to NZ are not for the $$. I totally agreed with you that moving to NZ required 'startup' savings.

When we decide to set roots in NZ, we are discarding the 'old lifestyle' and look forward to a different enriching lifestyle based on great outdoors (free mostly), great surroundings, friendly people and generally a greener and healthier life. Making enough to survive and save is actually sufficient for most people and me too.

You cannot measure the benefits of moving to NZ monetarily. It is actually closer to the heart... :049:
