Life / $3,000-$4,000 a month - would we have enough money to live in Poland? [273]

Hello, I am S2good's wife. I am that Polish wife that "makes" my Husband go back to foreign country ;)
I have been in the US for 12 years and gotta say I am still homesick and still can not tell you where exactly is my HOME. I worry about my parents, I have darling older brothers who are taking care of them, but I am the youngest and they have been caring for them for so long so now its my turn. I am absolutely aware of the cost of food, clothes and gas (scary!!). We are very thrifty, my Hubby cooks 99% of the meals at home. Not huge on restaurant, or precooked meals (salt, fat and additives, ugh). I am scared that my hubby will just get frustrated with all the obstacles (and I know there will be many, its Poland!) that we will meet. I am all set up on sending via sea (so much cheaper) clothes for us. I am ready to go to work, even part time, if needed full time / if I find one, for crying out loud I can even babysit and teach kiddos English! I have lots of friends and some family, we wont be abandoned and all by our own. How hard is it to find a job there? Would it be a good idea to contact some of the American companies and look for job there?

so, my last question is: does my husband need a work permit to work there? as far as I know he does. As far as I know and employer has to apply for that not my husband, right?

I am a citizen of Poland and he is legaly my husband (I also changed my name in Poland). He claims that he can work wherever and our marriage certificate is basicaly his work permit.

I do not want to go there on "maybe we will work maybe we dont". I understand we have a business that can be taken care of from Poland but it might end anytime and then what? ...

He thinks that it is as easy as in US. oh, I just lost my job, I will sell stuff on ebay or amazon and we will make the ends meet. As far as I know there is no opporunities in Pl to work somewhere on the side especially that he can not do any phisical work. We are argueing cause I am much realistic he sits on "maybe".

Wielki Pan, you are just a jerk! s2good2 asked a question and here you are, just being an ass. Wouldnt u ask how much do u need if you were going to a country you barely know and have to start from scratch?! Especially that it is a TEMPORARY situation!

No flat- have to rent one, would you buy new vaccum, iron, hair dryer, fridge, washer if you are going to be somewhere just for a year?! especially that you CAN NOT take it back with you?

Give me a break! He asked and very nice people are answering! that is all FORUMS are about
But there is always one smart alec like you.
What am I doing? wasting time on typing to you, ugh!
