9 Reasons Why People Leave New Zealand 

Okay, penguin ... move along in the bus ...

Nz has high crimes 😢

The country you left 20 years ago does not exist anymore. You won't recognise the place.. The same lefty globalist governmental system we have here (Tories only in name) have also trashed the place..

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Me voy a rajar el año que viene, 5 años al pedo acá... Saludos de Chch 😅

2 schemes. 1 is govt superannuation. Accessible at 65 years. Must have lived here a number if years, probably 20 for u. Two is kiwisaver, you pay 3 to 10 percent of your salary each pay and the employer matches another 3%. In a nutshell

Europe is a complete mess Oz is the only escape

Nz has changed a lot. Even in the last 10 years. House prices and rents have doubled, at least in Auckland but I guess it's same even in smaller cities. Crime has increased. Just this week a gang member shot dead a person in Ponsonby, of all places. Politically, Labour, Greens and Co have left a mess that Luxon and Co won't be able to undo. Schools have been infected by the woke virus, the alphabet soup, rainbow crossings are a major political issue now etc. We are saving as much as we can and gtfo. Spent last September in SEA and loved it.

The cost of everything in New Zealand, including even locally grown vegetables is ridiculous. Housing is mostly very poor standard and over-priced. I agree dentistry is too expensive compared to elsewhere and good luck if you ever need a hip replacement, that'll be 40,000. ACC will cover medical bills in case of accidents but everything else you pay for yourself. That can get very expensive, very quickly. There is some nice scenary but Europe has it too. NZ towns are fairly unattractive with little to offer. There is no bustling hub. NZ towns are suburban sprawl sprinkled with malls. If you don't own your own home and spend all your free time and money painting, fixing, clambering round the roof, trimming hedges, weeding, fiddling about with your house and driving to the hardware store, you can be bored stiff. Internet is generally fast and reliable (fibre), so at least you can go online. It is not a bad place but potential immigrants need to know the reality. Unless you're highly paid and have the 20-40% deposit for a million dollar home, you won't get a mortgage. You will most likely otherwise never be able to buy a home these days. Renters have bad conditions and very little protection, rental properties are mostly bad. Youth crime is huge. House break-ins, car theft, meths. Local youth steal cars, joy ride them, crash them. It is a nightly occurence. There's nothing much for them to do and what there is they cannot afford. It is not a great place for teenagers. NZ is not a safe, cosy world. As a Kiwi myself, the truth is NZers are often not very nice people, don't be fooled (resentful of other people's success and often inconsiderate). Just see how people drive. The worst drivers in NZ group themselves in Christchurch, the least inconsiderate are in Auckland but good luck driving here if you haven't got good nerves. Tail gating is a national pastime, so is not indicating, racing people at zip merges to jump the queue, refusing to let people in, etc. Unsurprisingly crashes are common. If you're from Europe and want a change, try somewhere else in Europe. I'd recommend a working holiday visa here for young people who don't mind sleeping rough, earning next to nothing to see the world, spend 6 months in NZ, 6 months in Australia but then go back to Europe, Canada, US and build yourselves a life with more future, security, better working conditions and more leisure opportunities. If you're from a highly populated place with a lot of poverty and little govt aid, give NZ a try but know you will have a simple life without much spare cash and won't be able to travel home much if at all. Be prepared to feel isolated and bored and have a lot of trouble getting your first job. I think NZ best suits loners who are sporty, like to go off mountain biking or fishing, are happy with their own company, hardy, tough, self-sufficient with simple tastes and needs. Don't mind living in a simple, basic, cheaply constructed, probably freezing cold house and don't have expensive tastes or hobbies.

@@sandraobrien8705 Hungary has a declining population low birth rates and very strict immigration laws that makes it near impossible for people to come to Hungary and start a fresh life let's do a comparison with your with posted points from Hungary prospect. Hungarian current law has 0% alcohol limit whilst driving doesn't matter if new driver or experienced driver no alcohol must be on breathe at any given time whilst driving maximum penalty is loss of indefinitely meaning you'll never drive again in Hungary again whatsoever permanently can't be overturned. Crime you may most commonly experience in Hungary is pretty theft nothing like full blown robbery on stores or anything like that, in terms of prison sentence there is no maximum prison sentence you may be sitting in prison cell to day you literally die for very serious crimes. Housing is much more affordable in Hungary in terms of getting rental and overall cost for materials and other things average 3 bedroom house is $150 NZD (monthly) that's in Budapest in very average sub- suburb ( we don't call them this ) Tax is flat rate meaning it's not progressive you pay a flat rate of 15%. Minimum wage Is 3 by fold labourers, professional and salary all 3 are set by governing law on base rate then you have sub base rate for fields which includes all fields of industry has minimum base rate. Absolutely minimum you can be paid around $874 a month ( paid monthly) Food cost is next nothing $100 NZD a week plenty for one person you'll be eating like queen or king definitely. Petrol is a third of price ( $1.12NZD) In Hungary. Brand clothing is around the same but local clothing fashion is significantly cheaper. Utilities are cheaper by about 40% for same usage. Roughly add all up if you were to spend rent food utilities and petrol on absolutely minimum wage ($874NZD) your still left with somewhere around $250NZD monthly do whatever you liked with it. That's not the case in New Zealand you go work a minimum wage job see if you or anyone you know that can rent buy food comfortably and have their bills petrol tank filled up essentials paid for still have $250 at end of every month without any money issues with finances not happening.

No, very bad rates of pay in NZ, unless U are a doctor or politician, main reason so many NZers go to Australia....

Well that will take us back many decades and destroy what little environmental and social gains that we’ve made.

Lol, OK.

​@robmccaw9956 Luxon and Co won't be able to undo all the damages that comrade Jacinda and Co have made. NZ is kind of fxxcked. Saving the little I make to move to SEA as soon as I can. Was planning Brisbane before c19 but now that's not a viable option. 😢
