Livable wage?

8 years ago
Hello All,
Strong possibility of moving to Dunedin from the U.S. to work for Otago Uni. Salary would be $55,000. Is that enough to live on? I know it's more expensive in NZed (lived there 10 years ago for a year in Chch for uni) but just wanted to see if that was a realistic amount to live on. I know traveling outside of country is expensive, but what about just general life there for that amount? Thank you so much for your help!
