Hello my friend. That sound great and I wouldn't think it twice. The offered me 3000 euro gross and I think that is just the minimum for a decent life. Have you got any feedback?

Mate, can I ask you for what job you have been offered that amount? Is it gross or net? What do you think about my 3000 gross? If you want to discuss more you can write me to overnoise@yahoo.it

I think that those 5000 (if they are brutto) are ok. Calculate some 1500 Euros for a house. After taxes you would net 3500 (check this for your self please). It depends on your live style.

I earned 4200 brutto in 2000 and I was able to save a lot (single man with higher tax rate)...However Luxemburg is not a cheap country (housing etc)
