    Vacation in Mendoza

    I was preparing and taking precautions for this virus starting back in February 2020 when The Amazon Post was running headlines like "The Flu is a much bigger threat than coronavirus" and Vox was mocking Silicon Valley for avoiding handshakes. I'll continue to take the threat seriously for those...

    North West Argentina

    One of my favorite regions of Argentina. Beautiful landscapes. Amazing food. Nice people. I hope tourism returns for you and the people of Salta soon.

    Argentina orders Facebook to suspend WhatsApp data sharing

    I'm already seeing more people in my contact list signed up for Telegram, not so many on Signal. Although I read that signal has better privacy. Short term it would hurt Argentina, but people would adjust pretty quickly. Imagine all of Argentina using Telegram and then people that they have to...

    Trying to contol crypto

    The upper class or more technical user will use decentralized exchanges, non custodial wallets, cash out by sending to cuevas or wallets abroad. If they ban cryptocurrency exchanges it will just hurt the average middle class person. It will hurt the country from a technological standpoint too...

    Budgeting for raising two children in a small pueblo

    Fiscal is one of my favorite posters because of all the crazy situations he gets himself into and his witty one liner come backs to folks who give him shit. If he's creative enough to make up all these posts out of whole cloth, god bless him, but I do believe his posts to be true.

    Budgeting for raising two children in a small pueblo

    I misunderstood his 10k figure. 4k is still outrageous. It seems like it's upsetting us commenters more than Fiscal. It's his money, his family, his life at the end of the day.

    Budgeting for raising two children in a small pueblo

    My point remains. Literally everyone responding is telling you the same thing. $3 or 4k a month is way too much. $100 for rent. How much is she paying her staff of servants? $750 a month total? You're at $850. Where is the other $3,100 going? If she gets emotional and starts yelling about it...

    Budgeting for raising two children in a small pueblo

    I think you already know the answer to your question fiscal. I enjoy your posts as much as the next guy, but come on dude...this almost feels like trolling. Your girlfriend has around the clock nannies and maids, yet doesn't work. Most would call that a luxury, not a necessity. You're giving...

    Is it time to leave or is Argentina worth it?

    Not many. Most US expats continue to get their dollars, maybe even a live a bit better due to the crumbling peso and well the upper class Argentinians - vaccine trips to Miami, week long escapes to their fincas, beach time in Mexico.

    AF should expropriate it and use it to solve the problem of Guernica.

    Luxury cars in Buenos Aires

    The danger of Buenos Aires compared to other cities or other countries has been debated here endlessly over the years with opinions all over the place. What I do know is that most of the wealthy in Argentina try to keep a low profile. Carjackings do happen, thieves have been known to follow...

    Luxury cars in Buenos Aires

    The wealthiest people I know in Argentina, drive mid level VWs too. It's best to keep a low profile and not call unnecessary attention to yourself, especially during economic times when people are so desperate.

    Mercado Libre now allows buying an apartment with Bitcoin

    Congratulations and my admiration to anyone who could see the vision back then, even when 95% of people were hostile to the idea, all mainstream press derided it, traditional finance, and so on. I hope jago25_98 is off enjoying riches somewhere.

    Swab collection in Ezeiza: a millionaire business run by a mysterious laboratory

    Sounds sketchy. Not only is the business using frontmen or frontwomen in this case, but La Nacion is also implying that in some cases they aren't even doing tests, just giving out negative certificates.

    Mercado Libre now allows buying an apartment with Bitcoin

    Bitcoin was first mentioned on this forum in 2011 when the price was about $5 a coin by jago25_98 . He must have rebranded himself to the millionaire BA Expat now known simply as musicman.
