Rents are very dear imho and unjustified for their size . Its impossible to find a good one bedroom apartment for less than 500 dollars a month now in good locations . Even San Telmo and Centro are 400 a month . There are many cheaper cities in Latin America

Milei said the casta would pay for the economic troubles of Argentina now its the pobres who earn dos pesos cincuenta who will have to pay !

People rarely charge different rates because you are north american . The fees are for everyone as a personal trainer is only for the upper middle classes . There are huge variables for services depending on reputation and availability

one of the dearesr cities of the world is Luanda Angola .Most of its people are dirt poor but the small elite filthy rich . This trend is becoming the norm in Argentina as the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting filthy rich

Im suggesrimg thar food prices will be the same as Usa going by inflation and cutting of subsidies . Argentina already is extemely expensive for local people but in us dollars it will double in 2 yesrs making prices for most items equal to usa . At present furniture clothing electronics are...

This myth of it being extremely cheap is starting to fade away as restaurant meals are close to european prices and good quality food in supermarkets goes up and up faster than than the devaluations . In two years it will be as dear as USA IMHO

Yes I do Argentina had by far the minimum wage most highest in the americas in 2010 . From 2007 to 2015 it was the most highest in Argentina. It was US $ 440 per month in 2010 . In 2015 it was close to US$ 600 per month Now its less than US$ 160 per month just 35% of that amount in 2022 and...

He certainly will not finish his 4 year term if he imposes all these cuts on the common people . Meanwhile politicians have robbed billions here including Kircher and Macri

Inflation has been a constant here for 50 years or more . United states has also huge inflation if you consider that in the 1960s one man working could support his family . 2003 to2009 were great times with a lot of hope .

You do know that from 2003 to 2009 economic growth was close to 10 % every year inflation was less than 20 % and the peso was stable . The minimum wage in Argentina at that time was the highest in the americas it was a great period !

These articles are full of mistruths . Was 2003 to 2009 bad years ? The economy was booming then and under a peronist government . Too much propaganda and little action so far does not make a successful government

I do not understand how anyone honestly believes it cheap here . Food rentals the main cost of people are higher in us dollars than ever before . Good parillas are minimum uS 20 per person but if you go to Don Julio expect to pay Us $ 80 per person now . Don julio was a absolute bargain until...

Huge storms are rare in Buenos Aires but occasionally they are crazy . The worst ones I remember were in the early 2000s when Palermo Soho was a barrio with no luxury shops . At that time the area flooded easily and after one storm from Juan B Justo to Armenia AStreets was a river with cars...

I believe all government is corrupt and did not vote for any otf them . I found it ludricuous though that people are so nieve to believe that a outsider with the history of Milei would be the grand saviour . But at what cost ? Divide and conquer ias they did in many societies on one hand they...

I just brough a 240 metre apartment for US$ 98,000 without having the funds available at the beginning . Three months passed and then I paid a fine of US$ 50 per day . I do not regret at all taking this risk as the property is superb with 5 metre celings and a historic protected building . The...

The expat party will end soon as prices go through the roof in us dollars and social problems and unrest become the norm . The energy in the city is not so positive the last days as people now realise this is going to be brutal . The comments from the government regarding governing by decretos...

I have to say that Milei has backtracked on more promises than any political leader I have ever seen . Does not bode well for those who supported him and his promises of changes from the corrupt system

Argentina has a problem with responsibility and accountability . Its virtually impossible to hear sorry in this country for mistakes done . I knew many expats who had businesses here in Buenos Aires and all now in 2023 do not have them . Employing people here is like walking on eggshells as...

To celebtate Mileis presidency one day of stock market performance is hardly a litmus test . Lest see in one year how his presidency has gone and then we can clearly express our opinion .

Many people are celebrating Mileis win but the party will be short lived as he does not have the mandate to implement the changes that he wishes to achieve . I agree on him on many poicies but do not on dolarizattion due to many factors . I am a capitalist and believe in less government...
