If you work in a high-paying profession, you'll probably be able to retire faster (off your savings) in US than in Poland. On the other hand, in the US you'll have to work harder and more hours.
- tasuki 2y agoDepends on the profession. As a software engineer in Eastern Europe, you can work for a Western company remotely and make kind of insane money. I lived like a king in Warsaw (renting a small apartment in the historical centre, eating out often) spending about 1/20th of my income. These days I work for peanuts for my friend back from kindergarten and am enjoying it tremendously!
- badpun 2y agoThat's what I was doing as well (only in Bytom lol, to have even lower life expenses), till I retired at 41 years old. But, software engineers are an exception. Everybody else is pretty much making local salaries, which are lower than american ones in terms of purchasing power.
