When I moved from New Zealand to the US, I didn't realize how much it would actually cost me.
I moved from New Zealand to California more than 12 years ago after I met and married an American.
Plus, I never stopped feeling the pull of home and the family I left behind in New Zealand.
ADBack in New Zealand, however, I was used to — and raised in — a culture that encourages people to act humble.
ADIt's also tough for my family overseas to visit the US, in part due to the exchange rate.
