Hi Caz,
This sort of discussion comes around every so often and always seems to cause controversy. I don't think anyone can give you a definitive answer, but from what I gather, most people in NZ earn less than $100,000 a year. I can't remember the exact figures, but the average wage here is certainly less than that. Whiles wages are much lower than those in the US or UK, the coffee shops here are always full, there are plenty of new-ish cars on the road and most houses have a Sky dish.
Whether $100,000 is enough for you to live on depends on how you choose to live. It's definately not enough if you plan to have a huge mortgage, send your kids to private school, drive a monster 4WD and buy French cheese......
