Moving from Ireland to Poland [39]
M G..thanks for your reply, if i can call it that..seems like it was more of a criticism than anything else..i won't apoligise for wanting to get out of a country that is on the brink of collapse, caused, not by me but, by the banking sector and goverment of this nation..i was not born with a mobile in my hand, i am 40 years of age and have worked since i was 18..i have paid my way in life and never went cap in hand to the goverment looking for free handouts..i have no problem paying MY debts but i have a major issue with paying debts created by greedy private developers, dodgy bankers and corrupt goverment officials and i have an issue with the future generations having to pay these debts too..why should i or they have to pay for the mistakes of others??? Ireland has suffered major ecenomic difficulties in the 50's and the 70's but not on the scale seen in the last 2 years..anyway i didn't enter this forum to get into a debate regarding the ecenomic situation of my or any other nation..i wanted advice about moving to a country i like and respect, a country that reminds me of what ireland was like in during my childhood..a country that respected all it's inhabitants, be they nationals or non nationals, that had real family values and were a proud and desent people..but again i thank you for your reply
many thanks alex for all the info..i'm green with envy already..sounds like you made a courageous move and it has worked out for you and your family..i wish you the best of luck with your future in poland..maybe, with some luck we too can experience a simular outcome..i'll keep working at learning the lauguage and see where it takes us
hi tonywob..many thanks for the reply..some interesting points..as regards the language i can speak some, but i know i have to learn more..as regards rates of pay, i understand the comparisons..but its not the want of making money that draws me to poland..i understand that you can live on alot less over there as the cost of living compared to ireland is alot less..i know the essentials such as electricity, water, gas and fuel are simular to ireland, but i feel that if we can establish a base in poland, secure some kind of employment and make ends meet that we could stand a chance of developing our family situation in an enviorment where we would feel happy and secure..we just want a chance to live without the constant worry of where our future in ireland is heading..my wife left poland, as many other poles did, to find work and save some money with the hope of saving enough to buy a house when she returned to her home country..things changed somewhat when she met me..her intentions have changed somewhat as she still has a well paid job here and she thinks that i dont have a hope of finding a job (especially as a paramedic) in poland, probably wishfull thinking on my part, but there's no harm in dreaming.. but i keep telling her that i'm not interested in getting rich, just getting by but without all the worry accociated with this country
