Firstly I know this depends a lot on different factors, but I would appreciate your opinions
Assuming you will be paid the equivalent of 1100 euros net per month in Poland or 2000 euros net in Germany, in which place would you have a higher purchasing power? , also in which country would you be able to save more and live better with that salary?
I will try to answer myself also the question, thus see below some of my assumptions, on the most basic things, comparing both countries
Rent a flat in Poland (standard city) , 200 euros per month
Rent of an equivalent flat in Germany (standard city) 450 euros per month
Gas, Internet, Electricity bills in Poland = 50 euros
Gas, Internet, Electricity bills in Germany = 100 euros
Food expenses in Poland = 150 euros per month
Food expenses in Germany = 200 euros per month
Petrol in Poland = 100 euros per month
Petrol in Germany (since it would be required to travel longer distances) = 300 euros per month
That would leave you with 600 euros per month in Poland for saving, while in Germany you would have an estimate of 950 euros. Assuming also that your goal is to buy a flat, the price of it in Poland would be 30 000 euros while the price of a similar in Germany would be 110 000 euros, you would have to save during 4.1 years in Poland for buying it, while in Germany you would need to save 9.6 years
it seems to me that comparing both salaries, one could live better in Poland., what do you think? , where would you prefer to work on those conditions?
