    Paraguay V Argentina, Lifestyle And Taxes

    I've been reading the past few days as this thread has progressed. What I don't think that OP understands is that 30 to 40% inflation a year will outstrip whatever he earns on his 2 million dollar investment, period. With the current suppression of the value of the dollar to the peso here, you...

    Sad But True.

    Stevied... I have relatives here and have been visiting for nearly 35 years. I moved here permanently in the fall of 2014. The peso to dollar was 16 then and is 16 now nearly two-and-a-half years later. Prices in pesos have more than doubled since then so it really makes no difference if you...

    Schwab Asks Proof Of Residential Address

    The reason for all of this is the crackdown on terrorism. Terrorists use the same scheme of a po box that actually appears to be a street address. That's why they no longer accept the address you were using as "residential."

    Anyone know if they are generally open on holidays such as tomorrow and Friday? Mine is usually open on Saturday but I've never gone there on national holidays.

    Quick Prescription

    I am a medical professional and the in-office strep tests are not reliable. Therefore if they test positive doctors prescribe amoxicillin and if they test negative they don't and 50% of the time people come back with severe strep that should have been treated in the first place. For those who...

    Quick Prescription

    Go to any pharmacy and ask for Amoxicilina 500 milligrams and get enough for 7 days and take it 3 times a day, every eight hours. You don't need a prescription and this is the number one indicated medication for strep throat. If you are allergic to penicillin, ask for cephalosporina. The in...

    A Honky Like Me.

    The staunch Republicans out there voted a straight Republican ticket. They were all tired of the Democrats in office. It really had nothing to do with who the candidate was. Unfortunately, as in most U.S. presidential elections, you don't get very good quality candidates.

    What Is The Health/mosquito Situation In Buenos Aires?

    I live in Recoleta near Pueyrredon and Las Heras. I have mosquitoes year round! Maybe a few less when the weather gets cold and slows them down but because of all the rain they have been prolific this year. I have mosquito bites routinely. There are always one or two sneaking into my place...

    Money Import Questions

    I think everyone uses whoever is closest to them. Someone on this forum recommended a place for me but it's not close to you. But I have used it ever since and it's been a great rate and experience. The place I use also will come to you and I know others will as well. Banks give the official...

    Question - Renters / Owners

    In the United States the bylaws, regulations, etc dictate whether or not a Condominium Association, Co-op, etc can prohibit owners from renting their units. I'm going to guess it is the same here. Also as in the US, those rules can be changed by a dictated percentage of owners, members of The...

    Money Import Questions

    The bottom line reason for the regulations pertaining to bringing money into banks here is the attempt to capture tax dollars due Argentina. Tax evasion has been rampant forever here.

    Prices, Pesos, Dollars

    Anyone who thinks that inflation is at 42% this year has another think coming. I'm estimating it is somewhere between 60 to 75% this year. since mid 2014 I have been tracking prices on everything I come across including items I purchased or not, rent, utilities, etc. There is no way inflation...
