Life / Wage - Expenses = It Doesn't Add Up!!! [33]
You still have to pay additional cost associated with living in the building say 200zl plus gas/electrity and water.
You should be able to earn approx 5000zl gross with your qualifications.
A decent 1 room apartment/unit would run me in at $1500. So thats out of the question. I would have to settle for renting a small room for $1000zl

Very very sorry didn't mean to be racist or anti black, the point being made that things have changed in Poland (IE 20years ago there were very few foreigners living permanently in Poland) every one felt at home, the situation is different today, black people, irish people or people from the GB its all the same, the Irish are probably the worst
Many black people are here to study Medicine and other subjects.

Real Estate / what is the price to rent or buy a bar or pub in "Rzeszow" [10]
Sam 57 don't want to be disrespectful but you will be in competition with local operators, although poles are not racist they would prefer to support a local pole than somebody from another country, get my drift.
From my experience Poles prefer to buy a bottle of beer for 3zl from a corner shop than pay 8zl in a bar.
Poles don't eat out and as mentioned by WB because they carn't afford it, thats true. Mind you the younger people think a bit differently and eating out is becoming a status symbol.

Don't think it will pay to do that in a provincial town, you need tourist to make it work, unfortunately not too many tourist visit that part. Keep in mind poles do not eat out, they prefer to cook there own. You may want to make contact with a trader in the Rynek area of Rzeszow or just observe how well they are doing.
actually i want to do a bar which is going to looks like a sports bar.so i need to know if its good to rent or buy the place in Rzeszow somewhere in the city!

Unless you have plenty of money, please think twice about returning. It pays to check it out first ie return for one year and leave you options open.
Things have changed in Poland when you last lived there, it is a different country, increased crime, more black people and poor heath systems. Good Luck anyway.
Were you able to find a job and settle down?

Seanus, you must be living in the dark ages. tax on 5000zl is about 1800zl. Rent for a half decent unit is 1200zl plus unit fees (up to 500zl) and electricity, phone, cable tv, internet. This would leave 1500zl (approx for food, transport, clothes)
work it out for yourself your quality of lifestyle.
A night out for 2 could cost well over 300zl.
It might be consoling to know that some people take home 1000zl a month and survived.
I'd say more 1500PLN for rent and bills but it depends.

Law / Starting a Business In Poland - what should I know? [28]
ukpolski some people are slow learners, whilst I agree that most people think cheating the tax system is fair game, I'm talking about something else, and anybody who has had the displeasure of starting up a business in Poland will know what I am talking about. The government and red tape make it very hard, they fail to understand that business is the life blood of any growing economy.
You name me one person that doesn't try to cheat tax in some way.

Law / Starting a Business In Poland - what should I know? [28]
If you want to loose all your money go ahead and set up a business in Poland, Poland has so much red tape and laws which are hard to understand that you best go elsewhere, If you go ahead make sure you are prepared to pay a lot of money in bribes to everyperson you deal with in the course of your business. A lot of big businesses have 3 year tax concessions, once that make some money they withdraw there business and trade under a different name. Poles have low income and unless you want to produce a new beer or vodka forget it.
