Living in Poland without working? - Your opinion

so you wouldn't recommend investing in property then ? Even with the slowdown in property appreciation in the major cities, there are still places where one can make decent gains; having said that the Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw property markets will experience property price surges in a few years time.

Poland is still a country undergoing major transition from what used to be a communist run country - there are opportunities to make money , especially if one knows where to look :o)



for the majority of older generation Poles who have lived there all their lives, I admit it is getting quite expensive, although this does not mean they cannot live adequately. One doesn't have to shop in the expensive malls, there are still very reasonable markets which sell local produce for a fraction of the price.

for anyone thinking of moving from UK to Poland, especially if they know the language and the culture, they will see a considerable increase in their everyday standard of living.

agreed
As far as the rest it's a matter of preferences. As far as myself I prefer to invest my money in some warmer country where I can make some serious bucks dealing with thousands of tourist. For example Spain. Long Summer, thousands of Brits, Germans and other people from all over the world blowing money 24/7. Obviously you can invest money in Poland but you wait much longer to make profit. I understand that some of you guys met the love of your lives in Poland and you'll stick to it. I would too but right now I'm talking about opportunities to make money and I'm very convinced I'm right about what I'm saying. OK let's put it that way, it's right for me anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to criticize Poland or Poles. Live and let live.
Peace

think back a few decades - many people invested in Spain and are now really sitting pretty; same will happen with Poland..... there will be some people who will make money quickly, whilst others will have to wait a little longer.

with regards the climate .... agreed ..... Poland cannot really compete, although the winters can provide very good snow conditions, and the summers can be really hot; i also enjoy the fact that Poland experiences the 4 seasons.

Spain has had a good head start in developing their tourist market, whereas Poland's is in it's infancy :o)



No offence was taken ... by myself anyway :o)
I consider myself a Pole, although I was born in UK ( I have Polish parents), and sometime I do see negative aspects of Poles or Poland ..... no country is perfect !

I wish you luck with your investment/business in Spain .... I hope you make your fortune.

If all goes to plan, then I'll be off to Poland within 2 years :o)
