Ummmm I’m the undergraduate interviewer in Arg for my American university and we get tons of applicants every year. They CERTAINLY do send their kids abroad, I see it first hand: they just don’t let the plebeians know they are doing that!

Historically, UBA was very prestigious; but for political reasons has had a steep and steady decline (plummet?) since the 70s — very comparable to CUNY’s (the City University of New York) world class reputation in the 40s, 50s and 60s then steep decline from the 70s to now. Although my argument...

@FamilyK — Get an Argentine lawyer who solves this type of issue. That’s the only thing to do.

Did I read that right, that he secretly had a teenager sleeping with him and they don’t know why she was there or their relationship? Now that is f——-ed up

I know far too much about this topic so ask if you any questions. But aren’t you from a strange land that isn’t the US?

Short answer: if you follow the letter of the law, then you have to pay income taxes in both countries, on income you make anywhere in the world! So it is double taxation kinda but... first see the above comment about the foreign earned income exclusion: in the US, If you do some paperwork to...

You have found the one issue that will unite all of the the (usually very opposed to each other!) members of this forum.

So! Our beloved Nanny of many years needs to return to the USA for family reasons. We are seeking a replacement - and you have a high bar to live up to! We’re a loving, traditional-ish, American-Argie young family, the cheesy sort who sit around and put on plays (just for ourselves) of our...

Haha laundering: clothing and money ;)

Ahh it makes sense that that wasn’t their name.

You know, “viveza criolla” is Argentine slang that means some combination of “street smarts” plus “chutzpah” plus “ripping people off just because you can get away with it to make an extra cent” plus “taking advantage of people because if you don’t, YOU are the sucker.” So.... I found it funny...

Wow this may be the first time ever I agree bajo_cero but he's right on the mark. The only way to do it for an American here, if you want to make a non-trivial salary, is to work remotely for American companies/clients. Also, there is a class of "permatourists" from first world countries here...

The overwhelming majority of the over-educated sub-40 crowd does. However, among the rest of the population (Ie, everyone else except for those who are both very educated and also under 40) does not. Of course there are many exceptions.

Hey everyone! I think it would be fun (and very modern!) to be able to make fun videos. But I have no idea how to go about it, and I'm too busy to delve in to lots of Internet research to figure out the methods, tools, and best practices. My goal is purely for fun - like making little meme...

OH THE SAME HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME! No one has my phone number and no one calls me. But as of about two or three weeks ago, I'm getting about 4 spam calls per day.

Arturino! This is about the one case per million in which I agree with Bajo Cero: "Car financing has very low requirements because by the time you got it you already paid for it and you owe another 2 cars. This is for poor people. Buy cash." He's actually right on the ball. Don't do it. Stop...

“Chain block” haha

Thanks for the upgrade! Question - I'm being stupid and I want to edit my neighborhood and I don't see the option. It still says I'm in Palermo. I think I'm being blind!

See Ben’s joke in the other thread: only the rich can afford to shop in the Alto Palermo; middle class Argies shop in Miami.

BTW i was then one who proposed collective moderation, not Ben - and he responded in this thread that he liked the idea :) give me credit where it is due :) That said I agree 100% Ben would be a great moderator. (And I have zero interest in being one.) That said, I worry it may be too late :(
