I’m moving out of Poland. Here’s why…
It’s official: I’m moving from Poland to Spain (more specifically: to Madrid). And it’s not just me: I know at least three other couples, who did the same, since first COVID wave took off in March 2020 in Europe.
People are sick — not only because of pandemic, but also of their government elected in 2019 for second round.
New tax law introduced in 2022 is eating out another portion of monthly income, for no reason. I mean, there is a reason: to pay for the all social giveaway in order to buy some votes (among people who never heard Margaret Thatcher’s opinio about national treasure).
While having a lot of problems in the country: massive air pollution, terrible public healthcare system, unreliable public retirement system, there is one way to get out of this situation — get out of the country.
Who else is willing to leave?
At the very beginning, I mentioned new tax law. Starting this month (January 2022), everyone who’s earning at least 12 800 PLN gross (as of the 6th January, it’s 2810 EUR or 3173 USD) will loose.
