QUOTE(wornbook @ May 8 2008, 07:08 PM) About 3 times higher but it varies. Yep, for me, I worked to cover living expenses and some luxuries. My first 2 years were mainly paid for by my parents. After that, I managed to support myself completely through part-time work and summer jobs. It didn't hurt that I was a residential assistant for 2 years. Room+food+amenities (electricity, internet, Sky)= $85 per week. Later, it dropped to $60. 
Fees were covered by loan. Paying it off now.  WTF~~~  here i pay at least $150,, no sky.. internet pay by self..  waa.. i must rent outside house r u in auckland?? |

I was a residential assistant at a hall. The trade-off is work for low hall fees. If I remember correctly, ordinary residents were paying $200 p/w. Easy job, it was a good deal. Huge competition for the job though. The Sky was a shared hall one lah. Only used it to watch football, luckily the matches were mainly in the middle of the night. No rugby/cricket fans competing. |

QUOTE(EmperorMeng @ May 9 2008, 12:22 PM) rough figure of minimum wage NZD10 per hour after tax. Don't forget your IRD number too. I've seen quite a few students being taxed at the maximum (close to 40%). And I'll never understand why Malaysians will wake up at 2am to watch a few men in long stockings kick a ball, why Kiwi's will wake up at 6am when its 2C outside to row a boat on a river/bay. Its amazing really how some of my friends know(knew?) all about Beckingham palace but don't know about where the Queen lives. |

QUOTE(EmperorMeng @ May 13 2008, 05:04 AM) was wondering how long would that take. Depends on how much you pay. I chose to pay more than the minimum amount, so it won't take as long. My loan only covered compulsory fees so it isn't as massive as some people's. Loving the interest free conditions now. |
