I made about 15% here compared to what I made in the states before I moved down. If I hadn't saved money it would have been really hard to live off of my Argentina salary. That being said, if you can find a salary along the lines of what SaraSara mentioned, you'd be living the high life.

I have an Electrolux DC35 Fridge with Super Freezer for sale - paid $2600 and selling for $1800. Details are here. I also have a entertainment center/TV stand - similiar to this one - for $200

The US taxes citizens on their world-wide income, but I believe the first $85,000 of foreign-earned income isn't taxed. Someone else might have a more definitive answer.

unless it's something very new - I had a friend visiting from the states a few weeks ago and he made the trip in the afternoon. It would be laughable for the country to force tourists to stay in uruguay overnight.

ditto - new pages in the passport is a free service provided to you by the US of A - I did it last June and it was free. $82 is hilarious.

Customs is hit or miss. I've been here 18 months and never declared anything. But I have friends that returned for a holiday in the states and came back with a brand new macbook pro and unfortunately were stopped. They had to pay 50% import duty. I'm a resident now (as was he) so it might be...

You should just need an FBI Record Request (actually it'll be a stamp showing you have no record) whose stamp date is greater than the last date you've been in the States. If you haven't been in the States for the past 5 years, you can just send the FBI request from here and you'll be ok. I've...
