    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Like Ries mentioned above, I don't find Argentina more expensive than other places as a whole. Housing, most foods are equal or cheaper here, and could be significantly cheaper so it depends on your diet, compared to North America. Housing is much cheaper here I find. Utilities are cheaper here...

When looking at motorcycles, appliances for home or a business, either in person or through Instagram or Whatsapp. The only thing I have noticed that there can be an amazing range of prices.

    Argentines plunge into debt for bills, cars and birthday parties

    I really don't think the country is on a terrible trajectory.

    I am not sure what you are trying to get at about landowners extracting resources as if they can just take what they want from the land because it is located within the boundaries. Typically, mineral rights do not belong to land owners. I cannot speak for certain for Argentina but in most...
