The article presents selected elements of studies on factors influencing the quality of life of elderly people vs the EU-27. The focus is on the multitude and diversification of the income of old age pensioners' and disability pensioners' households in reference to groups with other sources of income. The article also discusses the problems of the threat of poverty and the subjective sense of poverty. It also indicates the paradoxes of the financial situation of old age pensioners' and disability pensioners' households in Poland, which become the source of income or improvement of the situation of entire families, especially in agriculture and in rural areas, although they have one of the lowest income levels in Europe.(original abstract)
