One of the issues that Work and Travel students experience the sweetest rush before they go to America is pocket money.
There is no clear and definite answer to the question of how much pocket money you should go to America. The amount offered by the American government is 1000 USD. Of course, this amount varies in some cases. These are stated below;
- In Work & Travel, salaries are paid every 2 weeks as a paycheck. That’s why you should not forget that you will not be able to get paycheck for the first 2 weeks when you go to the USA. Here, too, the ‘’ expensiveness of the region ‘’ is an important factor in changing the amount of pocket money.
- Whether or not you will pay a ‘’ deposit fee ‘’ for accommodation when you go to America, your accommodation fee is another factor that we should pay attention to when determining our pocket money.
- In addition, it is always useful to have some money with you in case of emergency, for mishaps such as missing your flight, and for extra events such as accident and illness.
- Even if you receive a small amount of money, you can carry a valid credit card abroad to ensure yourself.
