Work / Cost of Living, Average Salaries and Job sites in Poland [263]

Nopes, I mean 18600 PLN - eighteen thousand six hundred.

You should be fine if you eat in cheap restaurants and live on the high floors of a block. I earn around the same and do just fine. You may need to do overtime once and a while to foot the monthly bills.However,People like Dell earn a lot less, and they also seem to survive. Amazing really.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

London, the most expensive city in the UK and arguably Europe has significantly more affordable property (6.4x earning) than Warsaw, even though London is a safe haven investment for the world and much lower interest rates,.

You are 100% correct. It is crazy.

Work / Minimum basic salary in Poland [96]

No idea what you're talking about man.
I just said
Well!! what's social welfare a month 200 euro...
These people(unemployed Poles) obviously need to work in the black economy to afford food.
As for full time workers with families..what time have they to avail of the black economy?? Unlike Ireland where the majority of the unemployed(on a 1000 euro a month) do mixers(cash in hand) and bring their wages above the level of actual full time workers.

I know about Poles working for more than is on their contract,but, still doesn't mean they earn more than the average. Minimum wage plus 200 zloty is still sh1t money.

SO my info is not to be dismissed
average salary:

Central Statistical Office of Poland (GUS) provided in 2009 that 65,35% of Polish wages are below Polish avarage wage and this is a fact.

The most common wage was 2.091,35 (about 700USD)

Only 10% earned more than 5.376,34 PLN (1792 USD)

only 34,65% employees had avarage wages (3.232,07)(1077USD)

All data quoted are gross monthly wages.
Avalon is on your ignore list. [+]

News / Why are PO and PiS the most popular political parties in Poland? [15]

Because it's easy for people to have only two choices, and imagine that that there is a difference, so as to content their illusion that they're participating in democracy. PO PIS ...modern right versus traditional right,,,same as Ireland..UK...USA

It's all a show to pacify the yahoos.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

In my case paying rent for 15 years was always cheaper than paying the mortgage. I could do whatever I wanted with the balance and I'm quite happy with my choices.

This all makes total sense to me, don't mind the developers and the guys in negative equity on here, they're like barbers who hate men with long hair.. I would like to purchase another property in the near future for cash, but atm renting is a no brainer and risk free. Got friends back in Ireland on anti depressants because of buying over their heads;so why expect people/Poles to pay 10 -15 times there wage for a place when they can rent for much less and sit back and watch prices sinking.

I have no intention of doing so, your choices worked well for you, enjoy it :)
However for me the rental option worked quite good for the last 15 years or so, so I will keep on doing what I'm doing :)

exactly.

It may be that the rents in 10 years time will be twice as high as the mortgage payments.

The opposite is a more likely outcome,even within 2-5 years;you never know.
Prices going up are bordering on the impossible.

So you rent a place for 25 years, then what? You have what exactly?

Over the span of years 2002-2008 real estate prices in Poland have increased drastically. Between June 2006 and June 2007 alone the average price of a square metre in Warsaw rose from 6,683 PLN (1,636 EUR) to 9,540 PLN (2,519 EUR) (over 50% rise in euro terms).[1]

According to a major Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, the average monthly salary in Warsaw buys 0.26 m2, or in Kraków 0.22 m2.[2]

Same sources give rental profitability at 4% yearly. This is lower than interest rates on bank deposits (5% in Polbank etc.).[2]

stagnation of prices and dramatic drop of sales in a long period of time with dynamically increasing supply of residential properties.
