We live on $132,000 in the ‘Hamptons of New Zealand’

From CNBC Make It.

Phoebe Merrick met Reuben Sandoy when she was interning at a winery on Waiheke Island in New Zealand. They fell in love and Phoebe ended up moving to the island permanently. The couple lives on a combined income of $132,000 a year and bought a house for about $630,000. While goods on Waiheke are expensive, Phoebe says that she feels happier paying a little extra for the opportunity to live amidst the natural beauty of the island.
