Hamilton is a city in the North Island of New Zealand, and the seat as well as the most populous city of the Waikato region of New Zealand.
It is one of the cheaper cities in New Zealand, but the cost of living there depends entirely on you and your preferences.
It is a city of a gentler pace than, for instance Auckland or Wellington, so consider living there if you’re one to get away from the city hustle and bustle.
One more good thing about this city is that it is a short drive to many other parts of the North Island.
Eating out will, without a doubt, cost you more than cooking by yourself. Though in Hamilton prices are lower than in major cities, the restaurants here are still expensive and you can expect to eat in an inexpensive restaurant for no less than 13$. A meal for two at a mid-range restaurant will cost you around 60$, while for a pint of domestic beer, you will pay around 6$.
MARKETS
The good thing about the north part of New Zealand and Hamilton is that it’s the market center for the farmlands of the Waikato. This mean you can expect to find plenty of freshest fruits and vegetables in many open markets and buy them directly from the farmers. As for grocery shopping, your groceries and amount of money you spend on food depends on your eating habit and may vary from $80 per week onwards.
TRANSPORTATION
Bus service is good and reliable in Hamilton. If you’re going somewhere relatively near you can walk or bike, and you’ll save a bunch of money on public transport – you just have to invest in buying a bike. However, if you need to use public transport, a one-way ticket will cost you around 2$.
UTILITIES (MONTHLY)
Utilities are not too expensive in Hamilton, if you look at the price of all included utilities for an apartment of a larger structure (85m2): for such an apartment, all basic utilities – including electricity, along with heating and cooling, water, gas and garbage services – costs around 120$. Internet is pretty pricey though, amounting up to 60$.
SPORTS & LEISURE
Hamilton has a couple of cinemas and if you want to go and watch a movie in one of them, it will cost you around 10$. Comparing with the prices of everything else, enjoying some sports and fitness activities is way cheaper than in most other cities in New Zealand. Becoming a member of a gym or a fitness club will cost you less than 40$ a month.
CLOTHING & SHOES
Be warned – there are not too many options to shop and splurge in Hamilton, and Auckland is a way better option if you want to go for a shopping spree. This, however, also means that the prices are lower. For example, a pair of quality jeans like Levi’s costs around 65$, although a pair of quality running sneakers like Nike remains at around 95$, while simpler items of clothing like shirts cost around 30$.
RENT PER MONTH
In terms of the price of housing and rent costs – you will love the news we have for you: Hamilton is even cheaper than many cities in New Zealand known for low rent prices. If you want to live in the center of Hamilton, the apartment will cost you around 700$ and if you’re looking for one a bit outside of the center, you’re looking at around 600$.
How Does the Average Person Spend Their Money in Hamilton?
Food is, without a doubt, the biggest expense of anyone living in Hamilton, along with the rent.
This goes to show that rent is definitely one of the most expensive aspects of living in this country, if not the most expensive one.
Apart from food and rent, people spend a lot of money on transportation and restaurants – although transportation here isn’t a necessity since everyone’s riding bikes, it still costs a lot.
Clothing definitely draws the least money from the residents of Hamilton.
Hamilton: Average Salary, Minimum Wage & Mortgages
Salaries in Hamilton are definitely high compared to the salaries around the world, though they are significantly lower than in many other major cities.
Still, the minimum wage of Hamilton that amounts to around 1300$ is still a reasonable amount of money that just goes in line with the high standard of New Zealand, especially taking into consideration that the prices here are lower than the country’s average.
If you’re planning on going to Hamilton for a period of time, it would be best to bring around 2000$ which would cover your basic expenses.
“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
