    Is the expat party coming to an end?

    What will happen if prices continue to increase and incomes don't, will be a reduction in demand for, as an example, a $20 steak. Same with TV services like Netflix. If prices rise, demand decreases and soon prices will follow. I hope.

    What do pedestrian crossings mean in CABA?

    Is the expat party coming to an end?

    For all expats here complaining about increased costs, here it's still a cake walk compared to food prices in the US. I get updates on food costs at Publix in Ft Lauderdale. It'll make your hair curl.

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    I'm not a thrifty shopper but, lo and behold, in Carrefour yesterday I saw COFFEE! It was 500g for 8300 pesos. Then on Mercado Libre the same stuff was double. I've never used that service but something must be drastically amiss!

    New official exchange rate: 800 pesos per dollar

    Just got back from my Carrefour. Although wine there in on special, 3 for 2, they had no Nampe! I'll head back in a few days to see whether it was restocked. A Dia did have Nampe at 2060.

    Do we have to pay taxes on SS payments ?

    I'm not a CPA but to calm most readers here down, will say if SS is your only source of income and doesn't exceed $25,000 annually, your tax liability in the US is ZERO.

    New official exchange rate: 800 pesos per dollar

    I'm not an authority on empanadas but believe today you can get one for 500 pesos. 50 cents. As I've posted before, my NAMPE wine inflation level still has it priced at about a $1.30 figure, US.

    If the economy gets real bad will people turn on expats ?

    While nobody likes to pay more for the same stuff, I can assure non believes that whatever the prices are here for food, prices in the US for the same or equivalent would make their head spin.
