PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]
Plenty? In comparison to..?
They exist, 'nuff said.
I wonder what would happen if everyone would have to find a better job if housing prices keep increasing like they are now, but when their wages aren't. You don't have to point out the obvious, because I get that. Don't worry. I'm talking about something else and you know it.
Housing prices keep increasing because of cheap credit, rent remains affordable. Domiporta told me that today...
Yes, but you don't.
But obviously I know what they can afford, and how they live.
Yes, but what if someone decides it would be fun to offer a Ferrari to everyone, knowing that most people can't afford one?
Then the people that have an interest in it respond. The people that can't afford it don't.
Well, I'd call 6000 € a month a very good job. (But ofcourse I'm talking to Tony Stark here.)
€6k a month isn't superhero money. It's quite a bit of money, granted, but it's not superhero level. Working IT in Holland will put 6k in your pocket. Working IT in Poland will only put 9k in your pocket (CCNP, I'm looking for you!).
You're right, and that's exactly why there are a lot of rich people who are clogging up the lower end of the housing market, which clearly was intended for people with average or low income. If you can afford something better, you should move your rich ass and allow someone else to live on his or her own. Or build more affordable appartments for those people. Simple.
If I thought I could make a profit off of building apartments, I would. Ask Avalon about the barriers that are put into place for building cheap housing...
I believe you, but I know a few electricians, plumbers etc. who run their own business.
And I was just out on a rough night with a guy that owns a car stereo/alarm place. He wouldn't have a problem dropping 2500 on an apartment...
Yes, there are, but not enough. For every affordable place there are a few dozens of people out there who are on a waiting list. (Sometimes hundreds.) How come?
Again, domiporta works wonders. If you're making minimum wage in Poland, and can't afford an apartment, you have problems reading advertisements. And honestly, I don't know many places that you work minimum wage and afford more than a room...
Especially when you keep in mind that working class salaries have been frozen or actually decreased over the last three decades, while middle/upper class salaries have increased by 60% over the last three decades.
;)
Where? Here in Poland, working class salaries have increased year on year. Not to mention attending IT studies is pretty close to free. Excuse=what?
Still looking for a decent network engineer. Regarding the pilot, I'm paying a German guy to fly right now...
If he or she works for it, then he or she should be able to live a normal life.
The key is working smarter, not harder. Just because you work at something, doesn't mean you should get a paycheck. I like to look at the stars, but I don't expect other people to finance my hobby.
A full-time English teacher doesn't earn 4000zl.
Well, non native speakers are pulling 25 an hour for private lessons in Wroclaw booked solid all week. I recall that my girlfriend was overwhelmed by responses at 35/hr. I have no doubt in my mind that she could have worked 20 hours a week and made 3k...
What if no one wants to pick up the garbage?
No one wants to pick up garbage. They do it because the rest of society places a value on that service. If the service gets worse, we would pay for the level of service that we expect.
