Syngirl - you are 100% right and I read his response so quickly I missed that line!!! You're totally on point in your response (despite your curious habit of adding a "u" to "neighborhood" hehehe). Tres Picos, maybe you are another troll! In case you're not, I'll give you the benefit of the...

Tres Picos, 1 - "Are you referring to the official rate under Kirchner?" - no. Please read this thread and others in the site more carefully. We've all been telling you many many times that inflation is muuuuch more than why is accounted for in the USD to ARS conversions over time: official or...

Tres Picos, Currency rates certainly do lag, at least in regards to the ARS. This is due to heavy government manipulation of the rates. See the 35+% annual inflation and barely budging USD to ARS rate, over years. The best reason to live in Argentina is NOT financial; that's probably a shitty...

Tres Picos, The pattern of his thread seems to be the following: you thinking you can live in BA on a certain budget because you've read on the interwebs that those are accurate budgets. Then everyone on the thread comes down on you, saying that your numbers are not realistic. But then you seem...

USA : Mexico :: Argentina : Paraguay

Serafina, What does having a monotributo have to do with the question? I, for example, have a monotributo and the process works fine! Morgan

No No, I'm more curious about whether the AFIP does!

Does anyone know: when you give them your ID, do they record your DNI number anywhere? (Other than your own scribble when you sign - I usually just write a random number there.)

Ben, Saying you have two points then proceeding to list 4.... you sound like me! :) Morgan

Has anyone else noticed that, when you drive out of the city (at least to the north), for the tolls on the highway, you can pay using your Sube card. Sounds modern and great, right? But... of the dozen lanes only about two have the machine to take it, so you need to navigate over to those lanes...

Serafina, If the problem happens with some cashiers but not others in the same supermarket, that means that there is an option to select on the device, that some cashiers know about but others don't. The question is, what is that option...... morgan

Hahahaha! Now that is an Argentine response hahaha..... ....and I may actually try it!

Hey Everyone, Credit card question. I have an American credit card, and an Argentina credit card. Whenever I use my Argentine credit card, it works fine (well, except for the times when the store/restaurant says their machine is out of order, which is too much - those situations aside, it works...

Ceviche: she is legal. I did say, "I also pay the domestic help tax for her so she is en blanco as my maid." -- note, to put someone "en blanco", they must have a dni! Thanks all for the tips!!! Morgan

I have a full time woman cleaning my house. She is very humilde. I also pay the domestic help tax for her so she is en blanco as my maid. I also have a bank account in an argentine bank. She is "unbanked" and I would love to help her get a local bank account but she isn't sophisticated enough to...

Am I remembering correctly, that they used to have this system here like 15-ish years ago?

Ceviche -- has that happened to you in argentina, more than once? I use Uber a lot in arg and haven't had any problem of that sort, even close to it. (I may also just have been lucky so far!)

Note he went to AEP and if you're coming from capital, it's usually muuuuch faster and closer. About 15 min from my apt in Palermo Hollywood -- and there are no tolls (assuming you're coming from the city).

I just heard that the standard now is 15% per 6 months.

Does anyone happen to know of a similar site/community to BAExpats for Sao Paulo or Brazil? (No, I'm not moving.... sorry, all my haters who want me to leave hehehe;) morgan
