[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are they supposed to save any money making 200 bucks a week? What in the world? [/quote] 
They have no expenses.  The host family pays everything except for add on entertainment and travel.[/quote]

And your point is? How do they save? They cannot. [/quote]

They save in a bank account, like everyone else.

Our au saved up and used her money on travel like mad.  10 days in Hawaii, 10 days in Cancun, a travel month visiting the Geand Canyon, Aches, Death Valley, SF, Yosemite. A week in Florida at Disney and Universal. Trips to Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, and on and on.  The au pairs split rental cars and hotel rooms with groups to save money--like most teenagers would.  Then she went home and got her dream job at a multinational company leveraging her English skills.

Obviously travel is now curtailed.  But our out of country au pair would rather be here saving $200 a week than at home unemployed and living in a 2 bedroom apartment with her parents and sibling under a stay at home order.  She is from Milan and already spent months holed up in tiny quarters with no ability to even go outside during the first Italian wave.  Covid affects her ability to socialize in both countries.[/quote]
