Well, it totally depends on the job you get. I didn't come home with very much, I was usually scraping from paycheck to paycheck.

I went over with around $2000 got working 3 weeks later & was on $8/hr + tips round 20-25hrs a week. Found that I spent the money I went over with very quick (a week in a hotel, eating in restaurants the whole time & alcohol) but the job allowed for a good lifestyle for the 3months. Kept me going when I was over there but came home without a cent.
