Good grief. Where do you live? Where I live, many people don't even earn $200/week as wage-earners and many other people are effectively broke. 

 In Germany? 

 Yes, of course. 

 Is Europe really that poor? Because if so that’s shocking to me. 

 Germany is not poor. Germans are poor. 

 She is exaggerating. Making 200$ per week is absolutely possible. 150$ and below is easy territory. 

 She's talking about part time workers.
