Our family compare to that lady, we do not need to pay rent nz$460 and petrol $100 and car loan expense $115 per week which our family saves $35,100 a year

Our family do not get any government money instead I pay quite a lot tax.

I cannot believe the woman spent nz$60 pair of shoes for her children. We just bought a pair of black school shoe for my son in ware house at discount price nz$15 yesterday. Actually we bought three pairs of shoes for my son and I spent nzd20 for my shoe too.

That is sad

She said that $81.3 is not enough for her and three children for one week living expense.

工资应该再增加NZ$500每周，增加工资的话补贴就一定会减少。
就这么一点工资，还这么大的开支？开支也可以控制。

nz is high living cost. Auckland's house is more dear than Sydney, au. The living expense in Auckland is more dear than Australia. nz gst is 15% vs australia 10%.

nz import goods gst free limit  is nzd400 vs au import goods limit is aud1,000

My wife manage our family finance and we manage to save nzd50k each year.

We try to save by comparing the item price local with amazon usa and ebay and select the cheapest one for the same item. We are willing to wait a month to get the goods. There is no hurry about getting the item immediately.

The item sold in auckland, nz usually is about double the price in amazon usa, or goods from china in ebay for durable items.

I also buy used item i.e. apple mac pro desktop for about nzd800 compare to brand new one for usd3,000+ Of course used one is several years old compare to new one. But I cannot afford to pay usd3k+. That is for sure.

We also buy old house earlier i.e. in 2000 instead of now. That saving is quite huge. I paid 233k nzd for the old house in 2000 and now the cv is 720k nzd, but market value of the house is 1.1 million nzd. We live in the house for 16 years and we always keep the house, not selling for a profit.

My salary increase from 28k nzd in 1998 to 100k nzd+ now Of course, I jump from one company to another, not staying in the same company for 18 years to get the salary increase. I tried to stay in the same company, but sometimes the company bank corrupt and sometime the company move to india and try to save money and give me redundancy. I think that I work hard for the company stay with the company for 11 years.
