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

    I'm as far from a commie as it gets, I'm a full red blooded American capitalist. I'm just commenting on the "prices being corrected" - it isn't a correction, it's profit for company owners, that is all I'm saying. We both know that people on the street are not getting significant salary raises...

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

    Things may have been artificially cheap but prices aren't just "correcting", companies are trying to grab cash while they can in this crazy time. For example - how on earth is yoghurt made locally more expensive than yoghurt in the USA where salaries of the people making the yoghurt are 20x...

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

    I’ve been here two years too. Costs are definitely starting to hurt. I never thought the cost increases in dollars would last this long, so what do I know 🤷🏻‍♂️ I still really enjoy living here but the prices are starting to impact that.

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    practically everything is still expensive and even more so. I like it here but nobody can say that living here is currently a “good deal”.

    Converging Dollars

    I'm really surprised but Milei may actually pull this off. With the Blue dipping below 1200 for the first time in six months and the official now at 1000, there's less than a 20% gap left - and narrowing. They may converge after all! (I'm scared to discover what that would mean though, prices...

    DNI - which country for background check?

    Thanks everyone for your help. Sounds like I need both. I may try first with just an Australian background check because it's so fast and easy to get; and if they force me to get a US one then I'll do it. Thanks!

    Alert for anyone with some AA miles looking to visit family in the USA: There were two dates with business class seats on AA direct to JFK for just 50K miles, which is absolutely insane. It's usually 150-250K miles. October 29 and November 6. I took the November 6 seat, October 29 is there until...

    Hello and a cash question

    a. Vendors don’t take US dollars. And the only US dollars which have value here are $100 bills; quite impractical for everyday purchases. You need to change them for peso and use peso. b. You can use your foreign credit card, the rate is only a couple percentage points less than you’d get for...

    DNI - which country for background check?

    I'm a dual Australian-US citizen, born in Australia. I want to get a DNI here and am going to file with my Australian papers because I can get them apostilled at the Australian embassy and avoid the crazy US apostille process. The only problem is the background check. I lived in the USA before...
