Work / Wage and Salary rates in Poland [37]

.teachers in public schools in Poland would be earning 300 euro per month :O

Yea this is a fact, I personally know 2 teachers in Lublin and this is about what they earn.
I know several people with degrees earning less than 100 euros a week and they are not

failures

Its simply a very badly run country and life is hard. There may me money in the country and some people driving around in fancy cars but a hell of a lot more people live on the bread-line. As for the black-economy im not sure but here in Ireland its rampant and the Dole here is is three times higher than what a Polish teacher earns.

Its funny how all the gold members on this site seem to think the average Pole is loaded. Its as if they are trying to paint a positive picture in order to attract naive property investors for their quickly de-valuing property.

UK, Ireland / Are the working class in the UK now shunned in the 'new' Poland? [53]

Polish families must be very disappointed in their own children if they work in a shop, or as 'bin' men, bus drivers, 'manual' labourers, or any other 'perceived' low esteem jobs?

In Poland its so f0cked up, you probably need a degree for these jobs, even a Masters.

Law / How much does the average Pole have in cash savings? [38]

Well if you earn a typical wage of 2000 zloty a month and you rent or have a mortgage,,After food,bills, beer and clothes (forget about children). I d say you would have roughly about no savings what so ever.

Unless you still have money you saved while working in the west.

Real Estate / The current property boom in Poland is a bubble [342]

Brendan Burgess, Founder, Ask About Money was on on RTE Pat Kenny Show 14th July
This guy(hypocrite) was on the radio on wed advising people on how to handle their major money problems in such hard times. He has just wrote a book(how to handle your money kind of thing lol) and people were ringing in, mainly all those people in the sh1t because they bought property during the bubble and now they cant pay and have not paid in months ets etc..

At the end of the show this "Guru" got a text from a viewer accusing him of encouraging the property bubble by closing down the debate on property prices on the askaboutmoney, website.

Burgess(who had huge audience) at the time of the bubble very very strongly encouraged people to join the property ladder before it got too expensive to get on. Now he has turned around to help people for money to fix what he helped create.

Anyway his answer to the critical text was basically, that the debate at the time was getting out of hand and a lot of people were using "bad language" so he closed down the debate.. Looks like we have these guys in Poland as well eh

UK, Ireland / Are the working class in the UK now shunned in the 'new' Poland? [53]

So tell how is it that I watch loads of tv series about young Brits being in depts because they cant just live without their exclusive clothes, exclusive bar and exlusive drinks... and still they are able to get out of great debts within 6-7 years if they just change their lifestyles. In Poland no one is afford to carry such reckless life so dont bs me about similar cost of life levels...

Very well said, its crazy when people so consistently fail to see this.

don't make it sound like we're all spoiled brats who have done it to themselves completely.

But it is true to a degree, i am sick over here in Ireland listening to people driving brand new 4wd Jeeps and going on holidays twice a year and claiming that they have no money,or people on the Dole with 6 children living on a gigantic social welfare and still crying that they are on the bread-line and that the Poles are robbing the country blind. They do not know(or seem to have forgotten) what it means to be broke or to be badly off. With the (Ireland)country practically bankrupt they will soon(very soon)

see what it means to live like a lot of other countrys in europe especially Poland.
The governments need to unerstand how-ever that "they" have a duty to rule their countries(and not the indusrialist) and not just to play games of swapping cheap-labour as it is only a short term solution and it will only lead to REAL chaos in the near future.

Real Estate / Buying a flat in Krakow; prices are still falling? [200]

I was told by an agent

oh yea they will tell you the truth lol. The property bubble prices are just gone beyond the saturation point.

Its seems the general view at the moment is that average prices are more or
less stable

There is no such thing as a stable bubble.

News / The chances for Warsaw to become capital of eventual Slavic confederation? [183]

What is it with people who are too cowardly to stand on their own two feet so that they have to regress into some absurd violent dogma like Slavic Nationalism..Maybe they are unemployed and lost and need something to cling to, but its real scary this racist uneducated view still attracts so many desperate people.

Law / How much does the average Pole have in cash savings? [38]

A typical wage in Poland is actually closer to 3000 zloty a month.

Im talking net wage people cannot save their tax...
A teacher earns about half that, and the minumum wage is 8 zloty an hour. so if you earn 3000 zloty you are on a middle class wage, no???

From talkin to Polish people over the years, I get the opinion that during communism people still maintaind their class divide. Everyone may have had the same pay but the working class were still identifiable by their lack of education and lack of interest in the finer things in life.

Today the country is still a bit communist in relation to wages for the majority so maybe by bragging about their qualifications, the middle class can find an angle to maintain their dignity and moral high ground, even hough they may earn a quarter of what they would get in the west for flipping burgers. Maybe Poland is still communist as the majority are still poor.

News / Why are Czechs more effective than Poles and Poland? [116]

They have the great roads of central and western europe unlike most of Poland. They have the german influence(well located in Europe).Their average wages are around 60% higher than Poland and their house prices are beginning to reflect their actual economy (as they did not have such massive imigration)unlike Poland. They are an athiest country so the don't have loony priest on the radio preaching hate.

oh and the beer is fab

UK, Ireland / Not all is bad for Poles in Scotland! [167]

I wonder when a Scot will ever answer this question:

Jesus that is so pathetic and a typical English supremist f0cking attitude. You as in the English have no right to be in any of these countries and as an Irish person, i would be glad if the Brits got the f0ck out permanently, but due to centuries of your ethnic cleansing and plantation's we have to stay in permanent dialogue.
