Though there are both, I would caution that it depends on your needs. If you are looking for a daily housekeeper that will have a set of keys and enter when you are not home, you may want to consider hiring an individual. A company may send whoever is available that day and personally I would...

It entirely depends on what car model you choose and the risk profile of the location it will be stored. I have a 2023 Fiat Cronos, which is an economical sedan, parked on a quiet street in Neuquen with full coverage. It costs me $101 per month. According to my neighbor, who has lived here all...

We pay $9,000 an hour here in Neuquen, 14 hours a week. Our housekeeper has another family paying $7,000 an hour for daily visits and she has another client paying $14,000 an hour (once a week). Rates vary widely it seems.

This is exactly what I have seen many Argentines complaining about. If Argentine factories are allowed to simply rebrand finished imports with an absurd margin in a cornered market then consumers should be allowed to import them directly too. Even among products where 90% of the product assembly...

Fascinating article Paige... On a similar note, I recall listening to a researcher many moons ago talk about that when the Automatic Dishwasher was invented it was initially thought the time savings would be an enormous help in enhancing quality family time. However, this researcher found among...

"Rofman, meanwhile, believes that the key to solve this issue is for the decreasing number of workers to be more productive — not by working more, but rather by being more efficient. This, he said, can be reached by improving their working conditions and skills: more education, better...

It's a fascinating subject really... The restriction of imports should be a temporary policy to protect infant industries until they can compete, protect national security industries such as weapons, or prevent aggressive dumping practices used to wipe out competitors. The permanent application...

It's a vicious circle of tax evasion that has ARCA constantly trying to figure out how to tax the front-end of the production cycle because it knows you're going to lie about the back-end numbers. Take for example the whole black market employee situation. This is probably one of the easiest...

I've heard that there are many eviction cases that the PJ party essentially ignored that are finally being processed under Milei and that this could be reflected in the growing percentage of homeless. I'm not sure where the stats on that would be though.

A lot of businesses were speculating by front-running inflation to drive up margins. Customers were generally lost on what relative pricing was and were so busy trying to buy everything before their salary devalued that they weren't aware. Now that prices are relatively stable and margins...

One has to wonder...if an Argentine buys clothes in China with $100,000 pesos, did money really flow out of the country? Did the china man take a textile worker's money? The china man sold his clothes to the Argentine but now has a $100,000 pesos to get rid of. What can he do with it? He must...

Contracts for an empty unfurnished unit run 1-3 years. Unless you plan on staying that long and furnishing it, there's no real need to go that route. Check local AirBnB's on the website and put in the reservation for a month to see if they automatically offer a discount.

Very smart move taking advantage of the arbitrage. Mobility is a tremendous card to have in your back pocket for times like these. This is something which, thanks to the advent of remote work/gig economy, has many in the USA re-questioning the age old rent vs. buy debate.

Exactly...nobody knows how your liver, kidneys, heart, gut, spleen or gallblader is doing to determine your ideal diet. To a diabetic all food is sugar. The only universal answer is blood-work and a dietitian.

Howdy FlowerPot, Probably a better idea to create a new thread than resurrect a 12 year old one. It would help to know what areas you are talking about and what market you are referring to, apartments, houses, commercial?

This is something I've noticed, the inflation of professional services seems to be far exceeding the inflation of consumables. Forget the INDEC of 31.5%, or even carne going up 70% in a year. The real story is in professional costs. Took my kid to get his hair cut and the rate went from $20,000...

You know for a finance guy, you haven't actually said anything financially yet, except for "trust me bro, I'm in finance". Why don't you educate the poor hapless expats here as what what financial mechanism(s) is going to create this "collapse" and how Menem's peg, which required emptying the...

The problem I have with most store chorizo is that it's too salty for my palette. I used to get Paladini or Cagnoli, but only 100% pork. It's sufficient for an asado but it would weird me out when, despite being even overcooked, they were still pink inside. I'm since moved on to trying local...

Per google... "as of February 2026, the average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in New York City is approximately $4,100 to $5,200+ per month" Per Zonaprop the average rent in CABA seems to be around $750k for a 1 bedroom...or $500.
