"The biggest challenge we faced was trying to figure out how to shop and save money! In the beginning, our grocery budget doubled! Everything is VERY expensive here! New friends have helped us find the good and affordable ways to shop by going to Germany, France and Belgium on a regular basis. It's pretty cheap to take the train or bus. We go to Germany several times a month for everything from our washer (delivered and installed), to clothes, food and most recently Christmas gifts. We use Ikea in Beligum as well which is literally just over the border. Our country is so small, that within about 30 minutes in any direction, we can be in another country--so cool! Shopping outside of Luxembourg is the most common and widely shared "secret" to saving money," remarked another expat in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg.
"Expats often find adjusting to the local customs and culture, language barriers, and financial issues to be the most challenging aspects of living abroad. Making new friends, managing homesickness, and dealing with bureaucratic systems can also be difficult. Additionally, expats may experience difficulty adjusting to a different climate and missing familiar food," said a member in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg.
