Poznaniak = Tightwad?

I lived in Poznan for eight years and frequently heard how people there are very concerned with money. I never really saw it though, but that's probably because I never lived anywhere else in Poland. Any truth to it?

tightwad? I don't think so. However, my husband who is from Sopot has said that Poles from Poznan are the worst at flaunting their money.

No way, quite the opposite - Warsaw is by far the worst.

Totally agree with Delph here.
There is a general opinion about people from Poznan that they need to bargain and count every penny. It's just joking, but this has a bit of truth. From what I noticed when living in Poznan for a long time, their attitude is very good: Poznaniacy simply don't like to overpay.

Yes. If somebody stays in Poznań for a longer period, it is customary to ask him whether he started recycling toilet paper already. But I noticed that this obsession with tiny sums of money is not limited to Poznań - other Greater Poland areas are similar.

you are probably right. nothing worse than blokersi with money. this is my husband opinion- not mine.

Maybe that is why this region is one of the richest in Poland :)

My cousin's boss is from Warsaw. He likes to brag about how much money he makes from his business.
He also makes it very well-known; he really enjoys spending his money too!
