"Costs of living

Poland can offer you a standard of living equal to EU standards. A positive difference is the cost of living. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the cost of living in Poland, taking into account such factors as shopping prices, household supplies, personal care products, clothing, entertainment and transportation, account for 76% of the level of Berlin prices, 59% of the level of London and Oslo prices, 68% of Vienna prices and 65% of Washington prices.
The social structure in Poland is becoming similar to those of Western European countries. For example, out of 13 million households, 3.3 million are run by one person, which up to recently has been a characteristic feature of such countries like France, Scandinavia and Great Britain. These are young, educated and financially independent people, career-oriented and ambitious, reflecting the patterns of Western Europe."
