Well, NZ has certainly provided us with a lifestyle but we're convinced that the country is not meant for those who are financially ambitious.
And for those who have kids, it's certainly a place where you feel you're supported to be a family person.
We have started receiving Working for Families Tax Credit (equivalent of child benefit) weekly. And the weekly sum is similar to what you'd receive in Japan, monthly. It depends on each family's situation, number of children, how much you earn as a household, how many hours you work, etc. Work and Income takes care of WFTC.
At the same time, Work and Income has provided us with OSCAR subsidy (afterschool care support) for our 6yo, and Childcare subsidy for our 4yo (those subsidies are usually called WINZ). I used to pay $250 per child per week to a childcare centre in Brisbane and I was really scared to start working in NZ as I had to start using childcare again, but the amount we're paying is much much smaller than what we used to pay in Brisbane.
I'm far from being a millionaire, but as many people living in NZ say 「貧乏するならニュージーランド」, I'm quite convinced. At least, you've got the lifestyle.
