It will take a lot of money for her to find you, find your assets, then get lawyers to take you to court, all with the uncertainty that she can convince a court to give her any of your money. For example, if she tries to hire an attorney in the US she'll be asked to put up, maybe $5000 as an...

I have a debit card with $200 usd balance. What's the best way to convert it to Blue Pesos? At a cueva??

I have been very satisfied with my setup. Originally I used Google Fi but they terminated my roaming data service when I spent too much time outside the US. However they left me with their roaming SMS/2FA which works well here and when I travel. This costs me about $25 per month. The best way...

Yesterday I got an email notice from SSA that my statement was available so I looked at it. I was shocked to see that I was enrolled in Part B at a cost of $560 per month. I have never knowlingly enrolled in Part B and have no idea how this happened. One guess: We recently spoke to SSA...

I was just notified that I'm now enrolled in U.S. Medicare Pt B at a cost of $7200. I don't forsee ever using this coverage but it seems that there is no way to get out of it unless I'm working for a U.S. corporation and meet several other criteria. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I just went through the same problem. Mailbox companies require a state or federal id and they are strict about this so I used a relative to scan and forward my email. Having a U.S. address has been invaluable for banking, brokerage, credit cards, Amazon, passport, etc. Eventually I was able...

Yahoo Finance, July 16, has an article on the best places in the world to invest in real estate. The first country is the UK, the second is Argentina based on the idea that prices are at rock bottom since there are no mortgages available and buyers must have dollars. As far as Argentina's...

Google Fi is your answer. With Movistars Global Plan + Google, Fi I receive calls, messages, SMS codes, anywhere in the world. When Google Fi saw that I was out of the country too much they cancelled my 'roaming data' but I am still able to receive 2FA-SMS codes, through them, anywhere in the...

Has anyone used a tracking device here? Specifically for a car?

You have my sympathies. I spent a year trying to get a marriage license but because I had been truthful on my application, saying that I was divorced I was required to produce many documents from the divorce which occurred in 1988. Finally when I presented all the documents they asked for they...

I picked out a new car. The salesman told me that I can pay for it by depositing US$ their US account. Now the dealers admins are saying that it's not possible, they can only accept pesos that are already in Argentina plus the transaction must be approved by AFIP. My funds are in the US and I...

A new law? A holiday?

Same in South Florida. Residents got tired of teenagers partying in the hallways late at night. These buildings got a bad reputation and resale prices dropped. But they don't want to ban Airbnb rentals outright because they provide extra income to some owners and the visitors support local...

Excellent thought. Thanks for the link.

I flew out of MVD a few years ago. It was a smaller but modern airport with a nice shopping mall across the street. I remember that it was cheaper. But given the hassle of taking the ferry then a cab to MVD we never did it again.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes I see many on the streets but unfortunatley I can never buy a German car let alone a Volkswagen. I'd be riding with too many ghosts. The Chery cars seem to be popular too but I've heard some negative things about them. I'd like to hear from an owner.

Thanks for the info. The car that was just stolen was our second Peugeot and, like you, our experience with them has been very good. Since we keep them for a long time we're probably going to buy a new car and with the dogs and grand kids it'll probably be a SUV. The only reason we're looking...

Our car was stolen this week. It was 8 years old and we're not sorry to see it go. Just happy that we're all safe and unharmed. So we're starting to visit dealers to pick a new car, most likely a medium sized SUV. I see a lot of Fords, Peugeots, Chevrolets on the streets. Anybody have a...

We want to visit friends in Thailand again but this time we're thinking of going West instead of East, possibly stopping in N.Z., Australia, Bali. Can anyone recommend a travel agent that had experience with trips like this? Thanks

Brazil and Argentina are work on a common currency as the first step toward a Latin American version of the Euro. I'm wondering if partnering with Brazil can help Argentina.
