How much money per hour do I need to make to survive in Auckland

How much money per hour do I need to make to survive in Auckland?
Assuming I work full-time, I was wondering how much money I'll need to make. I'm thinking about moving the North Island, maybe Auckland or Wellington. How much money will I need to make to survive?

depends how you want to live, but if its just enough to live and still go out, and save a little, then id say about 5 or $600 a week if your on your own and in a place on your on or you could get a house share, but yeah just depends on your situation..hope this helped though..
2 :
About $100 a day should do it! so that would be about $20 an hour.
3 :
The average wage of a New Zealand worker is $537 a week. Considering that the average food wage of a New Zealander is $70 week and gas, electricity, mobile phone, Internet and water bill equates to $200 and that other bills such as entertainment equates to about $50 it would advisable to earn over $700 week to live comfortably.
4 :
anything above 18 dollas an hour,thats pretty much average,it should cover a house rent food power and transport,thats if your on your own
5 :
If you work fulltime, the minimum wage should be enough provided you don't have high standards when it comes to living- you can rent a room with in a shared house for as low as 100 dollars per week in Auckland. If you're careful with money, you can get by with around 650 a week, including food, accomodation, etc. Hope that helped.

What should I wear to the Stabes

What should I wear to the Stabes?
I am going on work experience tomorrow and I am going to a stable. I will be there for 7 hours. Here is a list of what was planning to wear. If you don't think it's good, could you please tell me what you think is better . . . Here it is: - Black, thin turtle neck t-shirt - White and light, light blue fleece -Black wellington boots with pink flowers on them - Green Jogging pants. Are those colours okay? Will the horses freak out when they see the colours? Only serious answers please! Thanks in advance!

hum, seems okay. i would go with a polo shirt, jeans and sneakers if you can't wear breeches though. you will be fine. i would try something simple like this: http://www.discountwesternwear.com/images/girls%20kelsey.jpg jeans, a nice shirt (not too nice though, its gonna get dirty!) and sneakers. with this on you will be comfortable and be able to do whatever they throw at you. what will you be doing by the way? riding? mucking? as long as your comfortable and safe you will be fine (one thing though: always wear close toed shoes!).
2 :
OMG!!!! It doesnt matter what the heck you wear as long as its comfortable!! Sturdy shoes too~
3 :
no not at all i normally wear things just like that when i go although if you decide to stay there you could get proper horse things but those are FINE ! dont worry , have a nice time x good luck ! Abby the GSD lover

Horses don't care what colours you wear, just so you know. But I would wear stuff that you don't care if it gets dirty. And don't wear white. (In my opinion, the horses like to get people dirty, but only if you're gonna be able to see it!) And if you're going to be working there, wear jeans. Jeans are practically regulation barn-wear :P The boots are a good idea, barns are extremely muddy this time of year. Have fun!
5 :
It should be fine, depending on what type of stable it is. If it's a super conservative farm then go with blacks and neutral colors (the turtleneck and fleece should be fine). If it's a pretty laid back place then no one will care. If I have to go to a new barn I usually wear jeans that don't have holes or rips in them, a collared shirt like a polo, a neutral colored jacket (black or my navy and light blue northface), and my muck shoes (black). It's a simple outfit to wear and look professional without a whole lot of effort. Some places do have a dress code though. If you're really unsure, you could just call and ask if they have a dress code. With most places, it's just a dress code for riding attire and not for around the barn wear, so again, my guess it that you should be fine.
6 :
Those colours shouldn't be a problem. I'm curious though as to the flowers on your Wellington boots. Remember to dress in layers because 7 hours is a LONG day and if you're mucking out stalls, it's going to get hot and you'll probably want to lose some of the layers as the day progresses. If you're on the East Coast, it's probably still a bit chilly in the mornings, here in California, we had an 80 degree day yesterday and I've had my front door open since 7AM. Best of luck on your new job and have fun!
7 :
well, i wouldn't wear white, since no matter how clean the stable is you could still get slobbered on by any horse or slip in the mud, anything could happen. Just wear whats comfortable for the weather you have. I would wear jeans since sweatpants can catch on things like haycarts and can get in the way, but i don't know horses to be upset over any colors so that shouldn't matter. have fun!
8 :
what ever you are comfortable with! It really doesn't matter what kind of clothes you wear as long as you aren't afraid to get them dirty. As for your shoes as long as they are covered (no sandles around the farm) you should be okay!
9 :
they should be fine but im not sure about the wellies, if you could wear green or navy or plain black ones but theyre OK i suppose if its short notice. jogging pants??? if at all possible jodpours but theyre fine too if you cant then they should be allright. hope you have a good time.
10 :
It really comes down to what you're comfortable in, the horses will be fine. Jeans and boots are probably your best bet, because you will get dirty. All hands, instructors, and staff at the barns I've ridden at have always worn jeans and padock boots, or Ariat makes a really comfortable riding/hiking work boot called Terrain. Wear easy-to-wash clothes--no dry cleaning, if the barn isn't up-scale and requires breeches or jods. I definitely agree with dressing in layers depending on your location. It sounds like what you've picked will be fine, though. Good Luck!
11 :
horses don't generally freak out over color so you should be ok. just remember that its not a fashion show lol
12 :
This is a work experience you say, so wear what is comfortable to you and warm. The horses do not care what color or fashion that you wear...it is up to you. Have fun
13 :
horses don't FREAK OUT at colors they are color blind they don't see black and white but they also don't see many colors.
14 :
i dusnt mata wot u wear if its sensible...............
15 :
Yeah that seems fine. I just wear black tights (jodphurs or jeans if it's cold) with my tall boots and a collared shirt with a jacket if it's cold. My stables are pretty relaxed and it's normally hot so sometimes I wear shorts and sometimes I wear just a cheap pair of slip on shoes (they're fine to work in).
16 :
You could wear Jodhpurs,Paddock boots, tall boots, polo shirt, belt and some times were a light vest
