I saw a german nurse who lives in the borders and work in Luxembourg complain about north africans doctors moving to Germany to supply Germany hospitals, which are empty as germans prefer to work in Luxembourg. This lady was ok with working in Luxembourg as a foreigner but against of foreigners working in Germany. Many people come from abroad and take advantage of Luxembourg and complain about immigration from outside the EU.

I really do not understand why these people expect the government to provide and do almost everything for them. Can't they move their asses and find work for themselves just like any other normal person would do? I think they are lazy and are contended to just receive hangouts in exchange for nothing as if they are little princesses. When my family and I arrived in Australia as refugees from Vietnam we did not have anything except the clothes we were wearing and we did not speak a word of English. Now I am an engieneer( with doctorate degree), my sister a doctor( surgeon) and our youngest is a solicitor (lawyer). Our parents now owns 7 houses and 20 condo units in 3 Asian countries for lease. So work hard, have a frugal lifestyle, save as much as you can and invest in sensible manner. If we can do it, I do not know the reason why these people can not do it.

It's shocking that such a wealthy European country, richer than in many ways than the UK. Sounds like the average earner, earns far more and yet it sounds that these wealthy people do not care. But at least in the UK, the government does provide hostels and government benefits to pay the rent to house for the homeless, especially if you are under 25. The UK does help. It can take more time to process, as there is a massive pressure with homelessness right now.

"If you've never gone hungry or slept rough, you won't have empathy for poor people." What a load of crock.

That's simply untrue. I participate in a food distribution program in my local community where I have direct contact with the poor and homeless and also have good friends who are below the poverty level so I know. Literally everyone is just a broken arm or leg or an illness away from becoming homeless. Or finding a cop in a bad mood some day looking to fill an arrest quota.

Oh, I agree. So the thing to do is not keep buying things from rich companies as much as possible. Stop keep giving in to alluring advertising and the smooth sales talk of billionaires. But people now think they 'need' things like Amazon Prime, as if it is some kind of basic necessity, when it's true purpose is to make you keep buying stuff regularly from Amazon to justify the direct debit payments. You make a study of your life, and you will be surprised just how often you are putting money into the pockets of just a handful of super rich. And they now try tricks to 'shame' you into buying their products, pretending they're environmentally friendly or healthy, when they are far from it. Sadly, where the planet is concerned, climate change is the new, exploitable business venture. The super rich are going to make sure they are going to benefit from any social and environmental conditions, they hire teams of people to work on exploitative ideas all the time. Whether dollar, pound, euro or yuan, it all helps them build their bunkers deeper, because they know that if the economic situation doesn't set people against them, the climate situation will.

Without a skill, you can't survive. Most of those in the street are drug addicts from Romania, Hungary, France and other EU countries with no skills at all. Recruiting agencies needs people with skills that those guys don't have. Generally, to survive in the Luxembourg, you need skills and experience. Never expect the government to give you a job.

exactly, before moving to Luxembourg I had to find a job first and to apply for a work permit to be allowed to move to Luxembourg. To get the work permit, the employer has first to search candidates on the local market, so I had to wait for 3 months to get the authorization. So it is a lie that the government favours foreigners over locals on the job market. Without a job I would need to leave the country once the work permit expired.

Many rich have their residence in Lux, but they actually do not live there. A friend of mine is self employed, his job is to look after empty houses for super rich who are registered in Lux but are actually never physically there. They just moved their assets there, and own a house there. You will be surprised how many houses are empty all the time. - Lux, being a tiny country, is a banking center. These upper 1% of the people earn a lot of money - but if you take these people out of the statistics, the average income before taxes in Lux is approx 65K euro/ year, and if you see the cost of living, it is hard to come by as a single unmarried with that amount of money.

Aside from the highlighted poverty, please also add "extreme boredom" to the list of what you'll encounter in Luxembourg. I lived in Luxembourg for a few months while I was on a short freelance assignment at UBS in 2017, I was totally bored out of mind the whole time I was there. I abandoned the assignment and ran out of there like a bat out of hell.
