I grew up in Luxembourg, am Luxembourgish myself. But my parents don’t come wealth since they were immigrants. I did well in school, became an engineer and can just barely afford something modest by carefully managing my finances. I understand that a large proportion of the population does not have the opportunities I had.

Friends around me are only affording stuff by being dual income in government or moved across the border. And this is just my friend circle of mostly smart guys from classique B/C section. I really wonder how everyone else is doing who did not even make it that far in school? Ofc education is not everything, but its generally correlated to finances.

If I am just getting by with my achievements by luck and hard work, what are the other Luxembourgers doing, who are not lucky or with the government? Don’t you feel sca_mmed by our politicians and land owners?(who got rich in the process)

I am honeslty kind of sad and angry. Not for myself since i got lucky and am doing fine, but for my country and my fellow luxembourgers.

I do not believe in working for the government or the overbloated welfare company CFL just to earn more money than private. I believe in creating value to improve the world by hard work rather than disproportionally sucking out value from the economy just because of my passport.

I think the way our economy works by funneling money from less paid immigrants in the private sector to well paid luxembourgers in the public sector is actively discouraging any talented aspiring Luxembourger to really contribute to the private economy to their full potential. And I thinks thats not ok. Especially in the current housing market that disproportionally benefits luxembourgish owners who vote for the government that pays them in their gov job and also makes the rules for property ownership. Isn’t this perverse?
