What’s it like to live and work in Luxembourg? I got inspiration from reading Refinery29’s Money Diaries, which I think is a great way to expand on the sometimes taboo topic of money. I decided to write my own money diary for a week and present it here, excluding my salary information. Everything that was in Euros has been converted to USD at a rate of 1.23, which is where it’s been around for the last 3 months.
