To move back to Poland from the USA or not to move back....that is the question [119]
RysiekK... a lot of comments here are from people who frankly do not know what they are talking about, best to come over experience and decide.
Just a few comments, health care is the big big issue and this incidently varies from hospital to hospital, I might add that Polish doctors are pretty good and on par to those in the US or GB, to get something done you have to slip over some zlotes.(it helps and in fact works)
You will be accepted as a "pole" but remembered as a American...( access to money) this is a false perception as more poles are living better than those in the US.
300000zl for a house/apartment... not in the inner city area, won't get much in the country either.
1500$US per month, average Polish wage, this can fluctuate as the zlote falls and rises. Enough to get by, nothing to write home about. This money cannot be taxed again as it has already been taxed in Poland, (cannot be taxed twice)
Visiting Poland and living in Poland is two different things, be prepared to suffer and suffer from red tape, waiting and laws that were meant for the 19th century.
A move like this can either make or break you, a lot of people end up seeking delights in a bottle to offset anger and frustrations... true.
