    Coffee and cake prices

    This in an option we contemplate. I actually checked wait times for appointments at the Italian consulates in the US because here they are insane, only to find out it was a similar scenario.

    I hope that is not the case, I have several friends in the US that actually decided that having children was too expensive :(

    Coffee and cake prices

    As far as I can remember that was because utilities were still subsidized and imports were plentiful to that brought the price of items such as groceries, clothes, electronics, etc down. I do not see any of this these days, I see the same old stuff waaaaaaaaay overpriced for what it is.

    Coffee and cake prices

    I have just returned after spending a month in the US ( FL and NC ). Like everybody else, I had been adjusting here, witnessing some obscene price increases, complaining, and again, adjusting. When we decided to go visit DHs family, I was somehow convinced that it was all going to be much...

    Half tostado!?

    In some places you are also able to order half a piece of cake, and basically half serving of most main courses. And fries you can also get half a serving in many places. I have never seen tostadas served plain in the city unless the client specifically requests it ( chances are that a waiter...

    Help with landlord dispute over expenses

    The total price you are paying for a 2 br in Villa Crespo plus building fees is average market price, it is not outrageous, but I am sure there are other properties available, if you have proof of income or garantia, you should be fine. Leaving early and terminating the contract will only...

    Help with landlord dispute over expenses

    Under the former law and based on what the Civil Code states, the tenant is only responsible for ordinary expenses. If I was in your situation, I would send a carta documento ( legal letter ) to the landlord, letting him know that from now on you will not be paying expensas extraordinarias, so...

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

    For the time being, I think that exchanging a few more dollars and making a CDI deposit in pesos, will at least give you a bit of extra money ( do not think long term, more short to mid term ). October 2025 we have mid term elections, so expect inflation and dollar sit still ( or as still as...

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

    Forgot to mention that those living in the province of Buenos Aires, not in the city, will see higher increases on their real estate related taxes etc as Gov. Kiciloff aims to keep certain policies from CFK administration, but without the subsidies removed by the current administration. This...

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

    As for the current dollar value, in my household we have always tried to keep having a foreign income, and a % in pesos ( less than half ). I have seen it all in my country, and a very strong peso is not new. We honestly feel we are being robbed out of our dollars at this point, but at the same...

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

    December is a month of higher HOA fees historically as they include the annual salary bonus for your encargado / portero. Another reason why they have gone up in the last year is related to utilities with no subsidies. On top of this, encargados union has been given a retroactive salary raise...
