Yea, well, you won't see me driving a Ferrari any time soon.
It's a good point to convert to US dollars and take a good look at tax and cost of living in New Zealand (I'm on fourth year pay, which is what happens after the first year with an ATPL, and I get just under $48000US per year). It's a good few years until one is making the big bucks as well, and take notice that a 737 skipper is on less then a 747 FO. . .not sure how that happened.
That all said, you couldn't ask for a better group of pilots to work, the company is pretty good as an employer and the country itself is a great place to live.
