Not being rushed out of restaurants In Argentina is certainly a wonderful characteristic for clients but it must be tough for owners and employees. Turnover is very important for profitability and for earning tips. a few years ago I was visiting my daughterin San Francisco and my wife and I...

Sergio In my post, I never said I don't like La Biela. Please re-read my post, it says "too messy too often, the waiters either hate working there or seem too old to care; the place is empty far too often, the Internet or WiFi is horrible." Why do I go often? Tell me which place in Buenos Aires...

I live a block away from la biela and my wife and I go there often. The men’s bathroom is too messy too often, the waiters either hate working there or seem too old to care; the place is empty far too often, the Internet or WiFi is horrible. If you don’t reinvest, if you don’t upgrade, if you...

I have a client who is a 93 years old female. It’s an incredible pleasure to take her out for lunch. She dresses superbly, can maintain a good conversation, can enrich conversations with her views . . . And so on. But when a 20 year old female walks into the restaurant, dressed like whatever...

There was an interesting article in a local newspaper saying that Palermo Soho was going downhill quickly. The same has happened to Puerto Madero. Will the next hot spot be San Telmo? It has history and location. Will it bloom?

The encargado and the porteros in my building make more than those programmers. Socialism. All Make the same regardless of effort, productivity or skill. No wonder poverty is so high in Argentina. And the government is succeeding in creating more equality by making more people poor. Viva Perón...

Great question

I suspect some of you maybe jumping to conclusions. The private sector screwed this firm badly, Macri made it worse so a likely outcome was for some international firm to come in and buy it in bankruptcy. Would the us government let Boeing be bought out by the Chinese when they file for bankruptcy?

I am happy to read that you complained so effectively, and happy too to learn you did not get hit by the owner. Customer service in Argentina is an oximoron but if more people like you complain, there's hope that it might improve. When one of my daugthers graduated from UCLA about fifteen...

Why haven't things crashed, yet? My feeling is because businesses in Argentina have little to no debt, so it's easier to survive during hard times. Individials also have little to no debt. Americans. on the other hand, are top heavy with debt: car loans, students loans, credit card loans...

Buenos Aires's real estate market is very cyclical. If you buy, and hold for many years, you will be fine. If you want to make a quick buck, it's a tough market to do that. Renting laws are terrible, so buy mostly if you plan to use it personallly. I bought my first apartment in 1975. It was...

Easy for you to say that you'd rather die happy than live miserable. Wait till you are really about to die, and then tell us again if that's your view!

I got the money first, then I got flooded with emails and so o have not tried to do another transfer, just in case.

I did a transfer about three weeks ago, and it worked perfectly. However, a few days later I got an email from WU asking me to fill out a form disclosing a lot of personal data. I completed it and emailed back per their instructions. A few days later I got the same form again, asking me to...

Pensador. I suspect that your life might be more in danger should your wife read your post than if Coronavirus hit you. What’s that Shakespeare line about the wrath of a wronged woman?

from what I read, every American living abroad and receiving or not Social Security, is also entitled to receive the $1,200 free Here's the link to the New York Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-stimulus-package-questions-answers.html

You can get your income taxes done, and filed electronically, for free by going to irs.gov there is a link for Americans living abroad. I used the free link provided by TurboTax.

I agree with your statements. What worries me is the consequence of the money the government is printing to give it away. All the things you outlined above will cause a severe drop in tax collections, while expenses are shooting up like crazy. Although I never lived in the years when Hitler took...

This forum is full of doom and gloomers, but for once, they maybe right. I have to re watch the great movie, forgot it’s name, with Henry Fonda and about the depression years in the us. I remember: the grapes of wrath

One more thought. This virus may negatively affect the finances of a lot of people, and therefore, that my bring about some drastic changes to one’s quality of life
