    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    Please clarify. Are your monthly "expensas" (paid for property maintainence to a consorcio) $450.000? Over what period of time has your ARBA gone through the roof? My ARBA trippled from 2022 to 2023 and then doubled in 2024 (about $68.000 for 2024). If the ARBA increases by a factor of...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?
