Compared to Canada, some of my questions include:

-How far does your money go there, economically wise? In Vancouver, everything is terribly expensive, including real estate. So....

-How much is housing in New Zealand (let's say in a metropolitan area)? How much would a regular house (i.e. 3 or 4 bedrooms) go for? Likewise, how much would it cost to rent a 3 bedroom place approx?

-What is an average income? Are costs of living lower or higher than, say, British Columbia, Canada? Here, I find it hard to get by on $2500 a month. And housing costs are astronomical, with the average place costing around $450,000 to $600,000 now. You practically have to be a millionaire to own real estate.

I'm just looking for estimations here. I want to get an understanding of what prices in New Zealand are roughly.
