Real Estate / Banks in Poland selling fewer mortgages in 2011, down 49% [285]

and 20-30 years ago ahahah, I was a little too young to purchase when I was around 5.

Work hard so you can earn decent money and you can pay for your flat in under ten years: I did.

But of course one has to work hard and have a skill of value to sell, so that's you out on two counts.

With a property tax you basically don't own the property in 20 or 30 years or a hundred, its will weigh you down for ever with effectively a perpetual mortgage.

And if one rents, there is simply no way at all that the landlord will pass that property tax on to his tenants, is there.

But its easy to make cheap snipes at the poor isn't it?

I'm not special. I just worked hard to get where I am now. If other people simply can't be bothered to do the same, I don't want to hear them whining about their lot.

Work / Monthly income for family - Warsaw [71]

you may be very sorry for coming to Poland on this sort of money....think twice...people who have expensive tastes do not last long in Poland...

a) You know nothing about Poland and things Polish. Have you even been here?
b) The original poster said nothing at all about her tastes, expensive or otherwise. Clearly you are jealous that some people make money which you can only dream of.

Ridiculous fees which i assume are only for American expats living in their American bubble and paid by their companies in their expat packages otherwise that school would never ever have any pupil, i bet.

You would lose that bet on both counts.

You are now changing your bet. My boss has two kids at the American school (and a salary of rather more than 150,000zl).

So what percentage of his year salary is your boss spending at the American school for his 2 kids ? 30 %, 50 % ?

I don't know. But I'd be sure that it's less than the figures you give.

From memory the students at ASW are 20% American, 20% Polish and the rest from the remaining 50-odd countries represented there.

Harry was lucky to buy when prices were affordable over ten years ago and calling 'young people of today' lazy becuase its now impossible indeed makes him a smug, lucky bastard. He constantly slags Milky off for being an unemployed layabout and therefore unable to buy a home.

Prices now are about two and a half times more than when I bought but wages are also higher than they were ten years ago. I know plenty of people in Warsaw who have flats and mortgages: they manage to pay their mortgages every month, why can't other people?

If a person wants to work hard and own their flat, they can do that. If they want to whine about how unfair everything is and how prices are stupidly high that they rent a place, they can do that instead (and the more of them who do, the better for me).

Is there any special support for foreign children when it comes to Polish language studies?

As far as I know there is absolutely none at all.

Life / Molly-coddling criminals in Poland's hospitals? [6]

In Poland I understand a person is not free to defend himself even if he catches a burglar in his home.

You understand completely wrong. But it's not surprising that you know nothing about how Poland really is (as Delph pointed out above).

Work / Advice to schools hiring native speakers [13]

If you actually knew a damned thing about Poland, you'd know that university life is poorly paid in Poland and you can earn far more elsewhere.

Something which I can personally attest to.

fact that with prices 10 average earnings

Is that a fact? Have you got any sources to support your supposed fact?

How many times your wage did your apartment cost

I believe it was in the region of three times my annual wage and I put down a 20% deposit.

yes

Prove it.

so shut up and stop demanding that other should pay 7 times more.

In most places in Poland it is still perfectly possible to buy a flat for three times one's annual wage; as Delph points out by telling us that he bought for 1.5 times their combined income.

Your talking shyte as usual.

Are you claiming that all Poles declare all their income? That's nearly as laughable as your constant claims that property prices will go down by 50%.

It's a superb little city and well worth a visit. Go there, you won't regret the trip at all.
