1. Poles... Do they want to be rich or just want to look rich?

old money wants to be rich, new money wants to be rich and to show it :)

2. What role does money play in your life?

I use it. I pay, I earn. Funny thing is I've no idea how much I earn. Some money I receive directly on my bank account, some - in cash, so until I fill my 'zeznanie podatkowe' I have no clue. Does this make me as rich as Aristotle Onassis?

3. Money is the root of all evil? or does it just give you a choice?

I expect it's like power: “tends to corrupt; absolute one corrupts absolutely. Rich men are almost always bad men.” it's all in your mind. Makes perfect sense to me.

4. What would you cut out (from your spendings) once you retired and receive around 35-40% of your last wage/salary (That is relevant to all who work and want to retired in Poland)

anything that wouldn't make me any wiser. That's all that matters after all.

5. What would you do if you won 1 mln zł?

Thank you, Szymon :)

1. Poles... Do they want to be rich or just want to look rich?

I don't know. But they have my blessing to act at their wish.

2. What role does money play in your life?

Lets me stuff my freezer, pay my loans, get gas to go places and buy Reeboks for my kid.

3. Money is the root of all evil? or does it just give you a choice?

Why money be evil and not those who operate it?

4. What would you cut out (from your spendings) once you retired and receive around 35-40% of your last wage/salary (That is relevant to all who work and want to retired in Poland)

If I received THAT much I would not make it at all so why bother cutting ? :)

5. What would you do if you won 1 mln zł?

I'd buy a house.

Mahalo!

As crisis takes its tool a number of finance related questions :)
Lovely:P

1. Poles... Do they want to be rich or just want to look rich?
Both. The less money they have the more expensive they try to look.
Also, the golden rule "Pokaż się a zastaw się" is very popular among Polish.
2. What role does money play in your life?
I earn enough to pay for my studies and little pleasures.
Money comes, money goes.
3. Money is the root of all evil? or does it just give you a choice?
If you don't know what it's all about -it's (almost) always about money.
So both.
4. What would you cut out (from your spendings) once you retired and receive around 35-40% of your last wage/salary (That is relevant to all who work and want to retired in Poland)
I'm too young to think about it.:P
5. What would you do if you won 1 mln zł?
I would put it into my account and then think what todo with it.Tatianaa Z. edytował(a) ten post dnia 03.04.09 o godzinie 20:02

1. Poles... Do they want to be rich or just want to look rich?

I sometimes think they want to look miserable.
2. What role does money play in your life?

It's an unfortunate ringing sound in my ears.
3. Money is the root of all evil? or does it just give you a choice?

As stated before, it's the LOVE of money which can lead us astray, not money itself.

And money does give us choice. Can't really argue with that.
4. What would you cut out (from your spendings) once you retired and receive around 35-40% of your last wage/salary (That is relevant to all who work and want to retired in Poland)

I haven't really had a job (as in work for someone) for years, so I'm sort of out of the loop. There's not much I would really cut down on, as I don't live very extravagently. I would, however, think of ways of boosting my income.
5. What would you do if you won 1 mln zł?

I'd blow it all on immoral living!! Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa!!

Nice topic . Money a root of evil - it sounds a bit like a hippie doctrine.

Both.
2. What role does money play in your life?
It is diverting my attention from more important stuff.
3. Money is the root of all evil? or does it just give you a choice?
Choice... to slow down, and reflect.
4. What would you cut out (from your spendings) once you retired.
I will never retire.
5. What would you do if you won 1 mln zł?
Set up another business and help few people who are still looking for a job.

Yes. I sometimes get strange looks from folks on the street... "Why does she look so happy? Just LOOK what she's wearing.." heh

1. Poles... Do they want to be rich or just want to look rich?
Many of them want to be rich in order to posess things and show off.
2. What role does money play in your life?
It’s a means, not a goal.
3. Money is the root of all evil? or does it just give you a choice?
Money is not evil. It’s greed that has been making people do evil things for ages.
4. What would you cut out (from your spendings) once you retired and receive around 35-40% of your last wage/salary (That is relevant to all who work and want to retired in Poland)
It is hard to tell now. Don’t know what will my priorities be in 30 years from now.
5. What would you do if you won 1 mln zł?
Spend some, invest some, give away some.

thanks Szymon :-)
1. Poles... Do they want to be rich or just want to look rich?
I'd rather ask "people do they want to be rich or just want to look rich". it depends on people not on nationalities. Onasis was a very poor young man when he suddenly became a millionaire. he became rich because he started aacting like a stinky rich person. full stop.
2. What role does money play in your life?
I respect it so it respects me. I have always enough of it to pay my bills and spend it for some pleasures.
3. Money is the root of all evil? or does it just give you a choice?
I was taught at school that women are the root of all evil. do you remember the greek myths?
4. What would you cut out (from your spendings) once you retired and receive around 35-40% of your last wage/salary (That is relevant to all who work and want to retired in Poland)
don't know yet.
5. What would you do if you won 1 mln zł?
let me calculate it. 1 mln PLN makes 222 223 Pounds. I wouldn't even buy a house :-/ (just joking)
I'd share it with my family: my parents, my parents-in-law, my brother, my sister-in-law.
ages ago my nannie won a fortune and she did exactly the same - she shared with her family :-DKatarzyna Marszalec edytował(a) ten post dnia 05.04.09 o godzinie 12:34

Hi, Agnes. Congratulations on your success as a Commercial Model.

I wanted to take a minute to write in support of Lidia - I guess you misread her name. It seems like she was doing her business as a moderator here (it's too bad she has to stick her neck out alone all the time).

She would act in your behalf too if some of us became disrespectful of you and your miracle bra. You should respect her position here. :)Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 06.04.09 o godzinie 04:55
