DH has the opportunity to work in either NZ or Australia. We can live and work in either country, and are looking at either Christchurch in the south island of NZ or at the outer suburbs of Brisbane in Queensland. We have visites both countries, but only as tourists, and I'm well aware there is a big difference between holiday and reality!
We have children, but home educate, so schooling is not an issue. DH would earn roughly $80k nz in NZ or $100k aus in Australia. Is the cost of living crisis in either country as bad as in the U.K? What would you choose, and why?
