You’re about to spend around $4,000 just to get to the U.S. 💸 (program, flights, visa, first weeks of living money)

The hard part is not the work. It’s the fear of working all summer, paying rent and expenses, and still coming home with almost no money. 😟

J1 Tip Maximizer is a simple, practical guide made by former J1 students. We’ve been through the stress, confusion and long shifts, so we know how easy it is to end up broke.

Inside the guide you’ll learn how to: • choose a city and job that actually fit your goals (money, fun, experience) 📍 • understand tips, hours, housing and real monthly costs 🧾 • build a realistic plan for how much you can bring back home ✅

Instead of gambling with your summer, you’ll know what to expect, what to ask agencies and employers, and which “nice on paper” offers to avoid. 🎯

This guide is for J1 / Work & Travel students who want both memories and money, and who prefer to go to the U.S. prepared, not blind. 🇺🇸
