NP. For YOU. For us, it is close to 40k.

How are people responsible for the choices you make with your money? An AP can cost you upward of 100K if you fancy paying her $$$$$ and giving her every extra you can imagine or they can cost you much less if you make different choices. There's a minimum amount you need to pay and spend on an AP but anything above that is up and comes down to you. The program isn't generally more expensive just because you personally decide to spend more on your AP.

Our perhaps you purposely seek out au pairs from the poorest country, pay them the minimum, barely by them food, and give zero effs about their cultural exchange - maybe you are a bad actor HM. How are people responsible for the poor and abusive choices you make?

Good try, I am not the PP who said she was a teacher, you have therefore no idea what I earn nor what I might be paying an AP which may be way more than you. Doesn’t mean I am delusional into thinking that what I pay an AP is representative of the cost for every family and the program.

Ha! You do so sound delusional, actually.

NP here.
We rarely eat out or order in, so that does not change in our family. That's expensive! Even pizza made at home with store-bought crust is cheaper, fresher.

Readjust that budget so you don't feel the pinch!
