was speaking to giles earlier in the week. he has done his sums and recons for he and his wife to have a lifestyle andywhere near comparible to what they had in england they need to clear a minimum of 10K zl a month.

:))))

Of all the doctors, school teachers, hair stylists, taxi drivers, cashiers, nurses, other blue collar workers I met, none were making more than 1000 zl. Further, engineers and lawyers make only about 1500 - 2000 zl if they have connections through their parents/relatives, otherwise, many are unemployed

:))))))

The world economy will make this happen, but wait for 5 years and the cycle will reverse and the US will be more prosperous. SO move with the cycles and live in both places.

I recently bought a pair of pants from MEXX company. The price sticker includes about 6 countries. Paid 64$ Canadian, Polish price was 299 ZLOTY. That makes it about 130 $ CANADIAN...more then double

Thanks for all your help...I have showed her the information you have said and she still thinks she can have a much higher standard of living in Poland and will get a good job easy back in Poland. That in England shes never going to be able to get a decent job.

I dont know, I havent lived there?

Her family all are telling her Englands a waste of time and she wont ever get a decent job here or a decent life and she would have a much better one in Poland. They told her that before she left. She has been here two years not and has just finished her AAT in Accounting and is looking for an accounting job in the UK. She has also been applying for an accounting job in Poland as she doesnt think she will find one in England.
