17,5% down since I arrived here around four months ago. Meaning that besides inflation I have a 17,5% rise in prices...
currencies do fluctuate but these are no ordinary times... the speed of the euro's drop is scary, only stockmarkets and oil are doing worse!!

sure!
company provides accomodation and transport (rent car).
If not, this would be a mouse trap...

but you are very lucky if your company provides accommodation.. i get paid in euro and also have to pay for my flat, which means my rent has gone up already by more than 500 euro since July when i arrived :(
qatar, the perfect financial trap!

how does that work? are you being paid in euro's or riyals.
if riyals then you should be happy since you can buy more euros back home with the same amount of riyals.
if ur getting paid in euro's tough luck,sorry to hear that m8 u really are losing out.
