Correct. from 1992 until 2023 I have a very good comparison of what Poland and US is and used to be...like Phoenix Poland rose from ashes...at the opposite things are getting really bad in US = never cured racism problem, crime & gun violence, corruption, very bad and expensive education and health care system and now debt and inflation. I have to share that I am one of many victims of police-court corruption, racism and cover up of latino drug gang/organized crime = things they did to me...

@@tomzphone exactly when? The 80’s here were wonderful for high rollers with coke and wallstreet addictions. The 90’s saw a lot more prosperity for working class people but it didn’t last long. The 2000 saw an incoming recession that made people abandon their homes in the middle of the night. Now, we’ve got a woke nightmare where it’s easier to get gender reassignment than it is to afford basic dental and healthcare. We came here in the 80’s and we were extremely poor. Poor throughout the decades is still poor! You can call it lower middle class now, working class, or simply employed but homeless. ALL the same! It’s never been a good time for people that don’t have enough here.

[@zofiajaneczek184]

My family was forced out of Poland. My father was a well know revolutionary that fought against the Communist government decades ago. I was a child and understood some but didn’t want to leave my family or friends. We would have been killed had we stayed. It’s unfortunate we ended up in the USA because our friends were sent to France, Australia, or stayed in Germany. As the daughter of someone who fought an oppressive system, America at the current trajectory doesn’t sit well with me. People don’t want to change here because they think it will make it worse for them. They vote to pass laws that hurt them and their neighbors. We vote crooked men into politics that will basically ruin the nation and destroy the average citizen here. I’m not happy here anymore.

[@user-hu9zj7qz5y]

Wow! That’s a huge decision. Congratulations.🍾 ❤ very happy for you and Nina. I have been following your channel since your first video in Krakow three years ago. You could tell that from the very first time there was something that felt special to you about Krakow, despite the overall gloomy state of things back then in Covid. I think Krakow has that effect on many people. And all the reasons you bring up are so on point. I moved to the US as a teenager over three decades ago and visited Poland this past summer, first time in 20 years. I was so impressed and loved seeing my kids enjoy their first visit there. They genuinely loved it. In fact, my teenage son still talks about the trip and how much he wants to go back. Btw, I would add one more great reason to the list… and that is safety. We loved being able to walk everywhere at any time of day or night and feel safe. We live in a very safe area in the States, but do not feel anywhere near the same comfort of safety. It was so refreshing to have that sort of freedom from constantly worrying about your surrounding. Anyway, congratulations again!

[@planetkrakow]

You are completely right about safety and I should have included that - it's a huge plus. Thanks for watching for soooo long!

[@aliScot]

What a great video. So informative and covering areas of major importance about the country. I'm Scottish and I see similarities between the people there and here. I hope the Polish tourist board is paying you, boy! Because you and the delightful Nina are doing their work for them 😉 All the very best to you for life in your beautiful new home country 😊

[@planetkrakow]

Thank you...did you hear that Polish Tourist Board?

[@jerryorange6983]

I confirm the UK. I had a bike crash - one hour before the ambulance arrived. (London not a middle of the nowhere) they took me to the hospital, I waited in pain for 5 hrs lying on the floor for the doctor to see me. The UK is now the failed state but the rich gets richer like in the US. The system which Mr Menzen and Balcerowicz love so much.

[@planetkrakow]

Yeah, it's awful the healthcare waiting in the UK

[@SamsonHalfB]

Thank you for this video sharing your experience in Poland. It makes me happy to hear. I'm Polish living in US, and for the last 5 years have been plotting how to move back to Poland. I travel there frequently to visit family, and I too have fell in love with my home country again. I would go there 20 yrs ago, and be like "oh I see why my parents left" but then over last 5 years going back several times for a few months to stay with family. And its shocking how much its developed, and how much better it is. Every trip, there was a new highway, or a new train station. I started to feel a bit crazy when I tell people Poland is definitely doing better than where I live in US. There is to me just a feeling that Poland is on the rise. Like is this in my head, am I romanticizing? So its so great to hear someone else say similar things about what you see there.

This video (with Polish subtitles) should be watched by everyone, especially young Poles. Maybe they will finally get rid of this cursed and imposed feeling that Poles are inferior to Germans, French, British or Americans. Maybe they will finally free themselves from the so-called leftist "shame education"! Personally, I would like to thank you for this - often emotional - statement about Poland. In fact, you talked about your love for your home in Krakow, for Poland. I am sure that few Poles can express their feelings so openly - you know that Poles are world champions in complaining! And I will write the rest of the comment in bullet points: 1. You talked about the multi-layered beauty of Poland and Poles. This multi-layered beauty is the result of Poles' attachment to the Christian and Latin civilization, which built the power of Europe. 2. You appreciated my work as a 65-year-old computer science teacher at universities. Therefore, I can write with a clear conscience that I contributed to building the power of Polish IT. 3. The Polish National Anthem begins with the words "Poland has not yet perished...". Do you agree with my opinion that if Poland does not perish, there is some hope for the so-called "old Europeans"? I wish Mr. and Mrs. Nina only happy days in Poland. And if not all of them are happy, then SURSUM CORDA.

Also their medical system has greatly improved from the old days :) Luckily, the Australian health system is amazing compared to the US, a mix of private and public, I also have chronic illness and get free treatment and doctors appointments.

The only requirement to retain your permanent status in the USA (Green Card) is to travel there once a year. I wouldn't burn all bridges. In two more years, you could receive US citizenship and live in Poland for the rest of your life if this is your desire. US citizenship is permanent no matter where you live. I was planning to settle in Poland, for my retirement, but I noticed that my taxes there would be three times higher. If I stay in Poland for more than six months in a year, then Polish taxes apply, even if my income is from America.

[@rynio970]

Great comments. I have been living in the U.S.A. for almost 44 years and I would pretty much agree with your conclusions. We too plan to relocate to Poland soon, and through many contacts with other Polish people recently we hear the same more and more. With all those quickly disappearing traditional values all over the world, and mostly so called developed western countries, it seems that a few countries like Poland are still on the guard of those values based in old, but somehow neglected christian tradition. What will become of us if we allow it, if we allow any kind of moral chaos, forgotten tradition, lack of mutual respect, fast growing egocentric approach, general looseness, missing love, fast falling principles and some kind of savagery? Would we try to prove this way false belief in some regressive evolutionary descent from an animal to behave like one now? Let us hope, that maybe Poland will become a safe haven for normality or at least partial normality in this quickly falling true social order. However, it is so inspiring to hear these observations and such good compliments about our fatherland from someone who isn't Polish or perhaps he already is. Mary Christmas to you and all yours, brother. /

Oh Ged, I cried and cried and cried some more listening to your video. I share your sentiments 100% and have spoken very similar words about my love, Krakow, Poland. I used to watch your videos all the time, from your first days out of L.A.. Then I stopped, as it was too painful...I fell in love with Krakow (and Poland in general), in 2017. I returned in 2018 for three months. Again in 2019 for three months. Could not wait to return in 2020, but the pandemic hit, borders closed and I have been grieving ever since. I mean deeply! The reason for the only three months was due to the restrictions placed on USA citizens. I dreaded having to leave Poland! In any case the pandemic stoppage did me in, in more ways than I can comment here. Health issues kept me in place and it has been horrid. I am so grateful to your video because I am surrounded by people who do not have a clue why I abhor being where I am and long to be in Poland-my souls home! Alas, I am hoping, after all these years of longing to return and to fibd a way to stay. Like you, I feel the things you expressed.

Thank you for your perspective. I have a Polish birth certificate but I'm an American citizen and don't wish to remain in the USA, if I can help it! My family and I came to the USA to escape Communism decades ago. However, over the years the US has become a nightmare for me. The lack of care here, the overtly gross competition, the lie that anyone can make it in the USA, the crime, homelessness and simply lots of unhappy people. Poland has a happiness score similar to the Scandinavia countries and for a good reason. Now to find an international job or become a digital nomad and I am done and gone! As a Polish born person, unfortunately, I've never felt like I've belonged in the US. Over the years, I'm begining to realize that I will never retire in the USA, I will end up in poverty as an older person, or I will work until I die here.

To idzie powoli i nie jest jeszcze powszechnie znane ale Intel, Microsoft i Google coś knują. 😊😊

jak ma dobre wykształcenie to i w stanach dobrze zarobi @@worldcitizen181

[@zofiajaneczek184]

​@@worldcitizen181I'm aware that Poland is becoming a tech hub in Europe. Unfortunately, my education is whatever I was able to afford. My parents were never able to help me and I received very little help with education here. When you're poor in the USA a good education is simply unaffordable now as well as in the past. I'm probably going to have to wait until retirement to leave unless I'm able to secure an international job in the next 5-6 years. Sadly, once you are here when you don't make a lot of money America becomes your prison.

💯 agree with every comment, I wish all Polish people could see it and stop complainig. I was in Poland for three months in summer, totally impressed with everything..I am fed up with South Cali and its ideology, lack of values, lack of morals, etc...Great decision! I wish you and Nina all the best!

[@planetkrakow]

I've been surprised by the strong response, if anything I was too kind to the US as my focus was on why I love Poland. The US has really become a total disaster

Hello you . I am from the older generation,we Poles were very keen to maintain Polish traditions,customs and at all costs to maintain this our way of life. More traditional. Modernity,progress,technology,especially if they make people's daily life easier,this is a good direction and is very much needed. Everyone wants to see progress and modernity in their country, and not a soulless machine, which on the way to progress, will destroy the lives of others, destroy the spirit of the nation and its identity.We are afraid of such changes, so far it has been avoided, but will it be for long? It is necessary to slow down, look around you, look at other people and the beauty of the world and today, promoted haste, chasing a career, wealth and money can not buy everything. You can not buy happiness , health or peace of mind, and life is only one. But without them, you can't live either. It is important that politics does not forget why it exists. Because it is supposed to serve the people and often it is not, and a lot of bad things are happening and people in many countries are living harder and harder. I am glad that so many people come to Poland and appreciate what we have, what we are like and see the beauty of our country.We are happy to welcome to Poland people with a good heart, sensitive and willing to live and work in peace. It is not important nationality, where you are from, but what you are like. If you have chosen this country as your place on Earth, I wish you from the heart, all the best and many happy days.

[@planetkrakow]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, agree with you completely

[@KPR-du9if]

I don't know why anyone would want to live in the USA if they have a choice.

[@planetkrakow]

When i first moved there from the UK 25 years ago it was a different place, much more family oriented and warm. But it went downhill sadly and now is a place filled with so much animosity, incompetence and hatred😕

[@KPR-du9if]

@@planetkrakow Agree. Been a few times on holiday, and always glad to leave. When you use public transport a lot you see a different side to the place.

All I can say Sir is: welcome 🙃 hope you'll find your second home here.

[@suzanwright83]

Great video, thank you! I always say that you have to live in the US for more then a decade to appreciate polish healthcare, public transportation, people's mentality, history and culture. Maybe only American landscape parallels if not exceeds Poland in some areas, but that's only because the size of the country. The only thing I ponder on is closing door so permanently on the Green Card (I understand taxes part). We plan to keep both citizenships to keep door open just in case, not to mention access to full social security and investments. However, everyone's situation is different. Pragmatism is just another characteristic of polish DNA 😀

[@planetkrakow]

Good and valid questions - the video did not intend to address all but to focus more on why Poland

[@pawwrob4843]

Powiem tylko- Dziękuję

[@AKRLUC2012]

Dear Sir, I am happy you found what you were looking for. You will find that more people are leaving USA. "The land of the free, and the home of the brave", is gone. You don't see folks going out for walks at night, children playing outside, riding bikes. Most people realize that a child unattended could disappear, get killed. School shootings, you can't cross a street without someone trying to run you down. USA It's not what it was in 60ties, 70, etc. It's reaching the point where murders, all types of crimes are happening during the day. Government wants all law biding citizens to register their weapons, and how many criminals will register their illigal forearms?

[@tomzphone]

they want to take your weapons, registration is just the first step.

[@planetkrakow]

Yeah, it's absolutely not what it was

There is no such thing as free health care, because if you work, you are insured and they collect money from you in taxes for the National Health Fund (NFZ), and this system is hopeless because you have to wait forever for an appointment. If you are treated privately, or insured by private companies and use private clinics, it is a different matter...

[@planetkrakow]

Agree with you

Hello, so time is really relative. It's been three years, yet it seems like we met just yesterday. I have to finaly come to Kraków and let you take me to your favorite restaurant (on me) :))) Its interesting that you have to renounce the green card. I thought it expires if you leave the US and don't return within 6 months or one year? You are right, we Poles are more on the conservative side, so far, but I am afraid the woke culture might come to Poland if its not finaly rooted out completely. Well anyway, I'm glad you like living here and wish you all the best. Say hello to Nina :)

[@planetkrakow]

Well the green card is evidence of permanent residency. The green card can expire but, unless you renounce, you are still a perm resident (and have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam)

[@planetkrakow]

Nina says Hi and we still lookd forward to seeing you in Kraków

[@romankaminski237]

Hello ! I always love to hear about people from other countries who love living in Poland. I'm considering the move myself. The only thing that I would question about you giving up the green card in the US. How will that work when it's time to claim Social Security. Good luck to you though.

[@planetkrakow]

Can still claim

[@rebeccar4312]

Ged, I know you live in Krakow and bought your home there, but I have been watching some of your older videos and wondered if you ever bought any property in Montenegro as well, or decided not to?

[@planetkrakow]

We didn't, but we were close. We had a fantastic property in our sights there and I was going to go freelance...but the opportunity in Krakow was too good to pass up

LPR abandons itself if you are out of US for more than 1 year and more importantly do not file a U.S. tax return.

[@planetkrakow]

You are wrong

[@SmilingShadow-jl5tr]

@@planetkrakow With my 23 years of dealing with the US immigration system, including having to apply for SB-1 (returning resident) visa I know for an absolute fact I am right. Without re-entry permit and with 1 year outside USA your LPR status is considered abandoned. Additionally not filing a US tax return makes a person ineligible for applying for an SB-1 visa, which is an immigrant visa with a relatively short application time for FORMER LPRs, who abandoned their LPR status (stayed outside USA for more than 1 year) for reasons outside their control, and other than that maintained their intent of returning (had an address, paid their bills, filed a US tax return). Only a US citizens has to formally apply to have his or her citizenship stripped, if they do not want to be a subject to the US imperial tax code (worldwide tax return filing obligation). With LPR your ability to enter / stay in the USA is considered a privilege - if you don’t maintain it, it goes away automatically.

[@rebeccar4312]

Ged, what is the name of the group you went to in Krakow that you said was helpful for you regarding immigration issues and settling in, during your early days in Krakow? Do they also assist with obtaining citizenship via ancestry?

[@planetkrakow]

They are called KRAKSPIRE - we even made a video with them.

[@planetkrakow]

Not sure about citizen ship via ancestry

More power to you my Man ! I'm super curious though. Why the return of US Green Card ? More of a symbolic or practical reasons ? I know US is perhaps the only one in the world that expects one to pay their Taxes no matter of place of work/residence, is that the reason ? What would happen to your Social Security benefits earned while working in US if you take this step ? Thanks.

I could make another whole video if I was to go through all the considerations, but the channel is Planet Krakow and we talk about life in Poland so wanted to focus on that
