How much did it change from your expectation?

Those are nice places, but I think it's pretty tough to get a visa to retire in the EU to be honest.

What countries in Europe did you have in mind? I know, for example, Portugal is popular with expats, but has apparently has gotten much more expense due to the influx of them. The other thing with Europe is that it can be harder to get a visa. There are some exceptions though like Portugal and...

Wow, then prices have more than doubled in USD terms since October? That's totally insane.

I'm not sure if my budget would be tight now. Has it changed so much that it went from being able to have a very comfortable life on 3k per month to being tight?

Yea, that would be perfect if I had a friend in BA that I could chat with. Like, someone from a similar background as me. I can't live there before I stop working unfortunately.

People are saying like 'if you only care about price go here', or 'if you only care about price don't go to Argentina' but of course there's always somewhere cheaper go. Also, more expense places for that matter. Maybe this is an unanswerable question. Right before the election people were...

I've been there and I do like it, but if I can't afford a solid lifestyle there, then that doesn't really matter..

This thread is scary. What are people doing if they retire in BA on a fixed income and these costs are tripling.

How much more expensive do you think it will get?

This is a forum for foreigners to talk to other foreigners. Who cares if some people on here want to talk about fancy restaurants? If going to places like that isn't for you then that's cool too, but I don't see why it would be an issue for others to discuss.

Apparently there has been a significant amount of inflation in dollar terms. If you don't live there, is there some way to monitor the trend of prices to get a sense of the change in overall cost of living? I don't think numbeo would work for this purpose.

This is in line with my thinking. Thanks

It's true that the sky's always the limit :)

Thank you so much! Very helpful. Is there a monthly amount you would guess that I would need?

There are often posts on this site and others asking whether someone could live in a given place for a certain amount of money. The answer of course depends on many factors. So, instead of doing that I was thinking I could break down the lifestyle I want high level and maybe people could tell me...

What's the range roughly speaking?

How much are premiums generally?
