    How to figure out fair rental increase

    Not sure if this will help: I am renting out a 2br/2br apt in Recoleta ( long term ) and my tenant is paying % by IPC every 3 months. This being said, I am not sure if you pay for utilities separately, if it is furnished, etc. The bottom line is that your landlord is getting 6 months at a time...

    Experience finding Geriatric Home

    My own experience: My grandmother got hipbone fracture at age 93. Went past surgery ok. Was lucid and recovered. She wanted to live in her place. I respected that but she could not live alone as it was really not safe. Her apartment was not big enough for us to move into and she really wanted to...

    Experience finding Geriatric Home

    Hi! This is indeed a very difficult situation. In my experience it usually makes sense taking care of an older adult at home, if they own their place and somebody can actually oversee the situation. I do not know how old your mother is, or what kind of support network she had before he health...

    How many of us are still here?

    To actually clarify, we afford the basics that include private school, private insurance, our car, getting food delivery once a week, having a varied home cooked diet, etc. I think we live reasonably well. I refuse to validate 35 usd min to eat out per person, or 150 usd for a pair of shoes...

    How many of us are still here?

    Honestly it really does not look like they will make a comeback anytime soon. Just this week Milei said the " the days of Argentina cheap in dollars are over ". I don't know how sustainable all of this is. In my household we feel poorer everyday, just affording the basics. Thankfully we do not...

    How many of us are still here?

    The bottom line is that 22% of the people are ok, and almost 80% are scraping by. I don't feel I have the ability to explain how Argentina, the country with the largest middle class in South America ended up like this, I am sure there are multiple factors, but to say that it was the Ks or...

    How many of us are still here?

    I honestly do not think that people earning salaries in pesos are doing great because raises have not kept up with inflation at all. There is a reason why pharmacies are selling less medication and supermarkets and grocery stores are having record low sales as well. The bottom line is that the...
