I love that the IMF loan we're taking is going to be used to keep the peso artificially valued, it's the worst of both K and Mileista economic policy in one.

Welp, as predicted by those of us with eyes and ears: The government is considering abandoning the idea of a Free Trade Agreement with Trump and is aiming for trade agreements with Mercosur's backing.

Trump is good for Trump, and the grifters connected to him (Musk, the various crypto weirdos, random corrupt officials in countries many Americans or Argentines don't know exist, etc.)

So, no monetary issuance, chainsawed state, budget surplus, refinanced debt, and a devaluation of only 1% a month and the best we can get is annualized inflation of ~27.60%? Doesn't seem like it's really working or was worth all the ongoing suffering, but hey, I'm not the future Nobel Laureate...

Mileistas love the boot provided it's being worn by members of their party.

Death, Taxes, and Cops being assholes everywhere seem to be the only certainties in life

VLLC! A single empanada is over $2.8K at many restaurants now, even the bad ones.

She can open account easily enough at any bank, though you should keep in mind that banks here are thieves for inbound international transfers. Most charge a $50 minimum and upwards of 3% of the total transfer for funds being received from abroad via SWIFT transfer, in addition to whatever your...

As a warning to folks, PagoFacil app is convenient for receiving WU transfers because it's instant and 24/7, but it's been down since Sunday, and still glitchy today.

I rarely drink, but we were in Mexico last year and picked up a bottle of Don Julio 1942 and it was worth the money. Beautiful bottle, tequila, and was about $150 in Mexico vs. 375K here

If you're coming for a month or so you'll have an extremely difficult time finding any company willing to insure you for only a month. You're better off getting travel health insurance in your country of origin. Also, health insurance companies here are in some ways worse than American ones...

I use Aerobox, only had 1 problem (delayed due to huge amount of purchases during COVID) but works great since 2022, already used it twice this year. You get it delivered to their warehouse in Miami and then they send it here and take care of things with Aduana.

After 16 hours roughly I got my power back. Already made the claim w/ENRE, hoping to get a nice $275,524 ARS credit out of this.

I think for those who are arguing that Argentina is still affordable are those with properties. When you part with between 30% and 50% of your income on rent/expensas/ABL/luz/AySA/MetroGAS/etc. it's difficult to save/trim/adjust, and while Milei and Co. like to celebrate an alleged "recovery"...

Been without power since 11:00, can't even track when it's supposed to be back because the ENRE site is down, nor can I make the reclamo. Great country we got here :rolleyes:

This is my opinion too, I don't care, I just want public infrastructure; grease the wheels that need greasing and send millions to accounts in Panama, as long as it means more/better transit the cost is worth it, especially considering how fast Buenos Aires is at building public transit compared...

As others have suggested, don't do this. My advice is to keep the Chase account, (but change it to the cheapest package), change your address to a friend or family member's, and get a Wise account before leaving the US, it's great for traveling/living abroad, and has tons of features, plus if...

If anyone is looking for an alternative, I suggest Google Voice, I've been using it since 2012 and it works great (with a couple exceptions): - US Number for 2FA, no issues with banks or any companies so far - Free once you port your number - Free North America calls, free 800 number calls in...

I've successfully rented 2 apartments from Mercadolibre, and 2 from Zonaprop. I personally prefer Zonaprop these days.

I don't think I've ever had Aduana go through my stuff at EZE, AEP, or any other crossing/airport. That being said, I've never brought anything that's prohibited, and I just bring back max 1 checked bag so I'm probably not the profile of people they make open their bags, though with the cost of...
