Moving to Poland: is 100 000 PLN good for a start? [12]
Hi Sting658
Where are you moving to Poland from? I don't want to be disappointing, but if you moving from The UK or the US, I would like to tell you that it’s completely different here in Poland, I moved here with my wife two years ago (believe me; this is a repeated story, we all follow our women to keep them quiet). Tell you what, I came with much more money than 100,000 PLN, at the beginning it was all fun and exotic and happy just as if I was in a vacation, but then you discover that vacation is over and you have to provide for your family, but guess what, without Polish all you can do is “Teach English”, how about if you are not the guy who can teach then you are screwed “SORRY I MEAN I AM SCREWED” and the idea of opening a business, well your wife has to be with all the time “this is the country of unbelievable bureaucracy”. If you are into teaching then you can be Ok but they will ask you for experience or some sort certificate, unless you are not going to live in a major city, your chances in smaller cities are actually better and you can make more money. Before you decide to just move here I advice if you can to come here for an extended vacation and see for yourself, also you need to know you’re your wife’s prospective for your life together here in Poland, and whether she is going to look for work, because one normal income here is not enough. Finally when your are here I advice not to put all your assets down right away, rather wait to see if you like it here or you want to run away. PEACE
