Hi, the salary is very good. On average people earn here about 3500 so yours is more than enough.To rent a 1-bed flat in a new built block in the center would be around 2500-3000 plus maintenance charge about 600.Bills wont be moore than 600 a month.Public transport-about 240 for a 3month pass, taxis 1.60-2.40 per kilometer, eating out- 60-120 for two adults

It all depends on the area where you gonna live. The best will be to live very close to Centrum.

the top addresses in the city center are Chlodna 48 (Meridian) and Platinum Towers at Grzybowska Street

I think it's a good salary - but it depends how you live and what you spend money on + if you want to save or not. Will your wife be working as well? Food (grocery shopping) here is expensive.

Talking about a normal life. Go out a few times a month for drinks/food like most people do. The rest of my expenses will be at supermarkets and regular bills. Wife is not working :(
