Listen convex, I never denied that the numbers are fine in Poland. You keep misunderstanding me for some reason. All I say is that the average Pole doesn't feel any or much progress.
Another story is that I doubt that this current progress will last long, however it doesn't mean that I don't want Poland to be successful. (read #65)

In one of these threads on PF, I posted that Poland is known for good soldiers and pretty women but not for good politicians and economist and that's why the outcome of this current "progress" is so questionable to me. I hate to be misunderstood here, it's not like I want the Polish economy to collapse. It's good to have strong Poland in this part of the world but knowing Polish past, it's just hard for me to believe that this "progress" will last forever.
no, the reason I posted this thread is really to discuss about the outcome of the current progress of the Polish economy.
The very fact that there are forces beyond the control of those that stimulate economic growth is worrying.

It's so one-sided point of view and this is what I have a problem with.
before I'm going to have a reason to panic, it will be too late to panic for very many people out there. You don't know me or my situation so why worry about me.

tell me convex, what are you really trying to prove here? Because you paint it totally black but it isn't. I live here, I see little changes but nothing drastic. Maybe in the north it is much worse than here but where I live there's no reason to panic.
why would I mess with our history? The problems we have don't really go that far behind.
The reason I'm comparing another countries with us is to show that we're still pretty much well off. You believe in numbers and I believe in what I see around me.
My opinion is that before we go down, there will be a huge number of countries before us to go down.
you can see it anyway you want it (you keep repeating the same thing) and I will repeat myself and say again, the numbers ain't worth crap. We'll see about the long term stability of this "progress". The time will show.

how can you possibly tell what I do with my money? You can not.
You seem to be a very pessimistic person, very un-American.
Steady income vs loss of purchasing power. Purchasing power is on the decline in the US, at least that is what the US government tells us.

I never denied that we have problems but you guys are blowing it out of proportions. I don't know your family and their problems. In my family everyone has a steady income and no one is struggling. Comparing with Europe, the prices here are still OK. This and that went up, that's true but when I think back how it was in Poland and Germany, we still shouldn't bit*h too much.
It's something else when an American goes to visit Poland with a loaded credit card and a wallet full of money than when he starts living there like Poles do, having the same average income, having to pay all bills etc. Like I've already mentioned in another thread, the numbers are not showing the reality of life in Poland or even in Germany.
Maybe you got lucky, I can't say anything about it as I can't prove you're wrong but I know enough people in Poland who are telling me totally different stories than you and some other PF members. Some of you, like ironside, are at least honest about it and confirm what I've experienced on my own while in Poland and what my friends are telling me on skype, almost every day.

some of it does and some of it doesn't. I'll tell you a story, when we lived in Poland, we met a very nice lady who lived in Chicago (for almost 30 yrs), she had a really nice bar in Mikolajki, right at the lake. She invested lots of money in this business, build a house in the same town. Short before we left Poland, she almost lost everything and we're talking millions not peanuts and she was trying to get a loan just to stay in business for a little longer in hope that it's going to pick up eventually. She knows most of the business owners (not just pubs, all kinds of businesses) in that area and she told me that 95% of them are struggling too. So what am I supposed to believe, the good numbers or someone who was telling me about her problems with tears in her eyes?
I'm glad you chose that number, lol
