Hhmm, ok! I'll ask the people who knock on my door everyday asking for food if their pay has increased in the last year relative to the dollar blue, 50% poverty rate in Argentina brother, those folks don't know and don't care about the dollar blue. I'll go one more round with you but don't be...

Wages are not higher in dollar terms than they were last year, 3-5-10 years ago because wages are in a losing race against the rocketing peso. If one was making 20,000 pesos a month in 2017 when the dollar blue was 18 Pesos to a dollar they would be earning $1,100 dollars a month, today 20,000...

I have lived in Argentina for 14 years and EVERYONE I know earns and has less money than they did 1-3-5 or ten years ago. My wife used to make enough money in 1 month to buy a plane ticket to NYC. Now it takes her 7 or 8 months to save for one.

Who do you think he has in mind? Haha, you do know he is running for president? B Kennedy Jr. said Covid was designed in a Chinese lab because, “Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people” and “the people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” and Kennedy Jr...

https://www.medicareinteractive.org/ is a great site. The following is from the web site. I am retired and have chosen to live on my savings until my full retirement age in 2.5 years. I think if one makes less than 105K a year then they are entitled to the 75% - 25% split outlined below. Part B...

Hi, I am 5 months out from turning 65 and live in Argentina with no intention of living in the USA again. I have health insurance through my Argentine wife's work and don't feel like I need Medicare plan B but the cost that I have seen in my research says Medicare Plan B is $174 per month (my...

Hello, In my neighborhood there are young men and boys cleaning car windows for pesos and on my route to work there are squater camps. I usually drop off my cloths/shoes... along with a loaf of bread and some cheese to these folks.

It might have been LaValle, I'll report back and let you know for sure.

Congrats Iggy, I'm sure you'll be fine, this note is for people starting the process. It's been a good 5/6 years since we went through it, We live in Mendoza which at the time was notorios for taking a long time and fumbling everything they can so we made our appointment for our...

You don't get to drop a lie like the Committee hid them, you just said they are on the congressional website, how is that hidden? McCarthy gave them to Hannity, (evil itself, nothing but lies out of that creeps mouth). So, don't drop garbage on this website and then say who can or can't respond.

Wade and the people who liked your comment, sure, Trump did not incite the resurrection, (going to be wild) he did not conspire to get fake electors in all of the close race states, he did not beg the attorney general in Georgia to find 11,000 votes, he is not continuing to promote the big...

I'm good with that. Stranger things have happened. Good luck to all.

Hey Sergio, No doubt Argentina is broken and needs to change, and I agree that education does not need to be universally free but I know many people who consider it a fundamental right. I am not trying to defend every aspect of Argentine society, I am at odds with many things including how young...

I am responding to something said in the comments below, Sergio said, "In this sense Argentina would be a more predicable and secure county but the social inequality that the current system and leaders have engendered will diminish." I am not co-signing his statement, but why do you say "but"...

Hmm, where to start? Sergio said, "In this sense Argentina would be a more predicable and secure county BUT the social inequality that the current system and leaders have engendered will diminish." I am not co-signing your statement but why do you say "but" as if diminishing social inequality...

I travel back to the USA a couple of times a year, I always buy my friends rejected C-Notes or take whatever small bills they have and give them the current Blue Dollar price in pesos as I don't lose a cent in the process.

Hi, is Adriana still teaching? If so, could you pass on her contact info. I would have to take the class remotely as I live in Mendoza. Thanks

Nikad is right on all counts. Our house purchase was smooth but 5 years later we are still waiting on the architectural papers which one (supposedly) must have to sell a place.

I know I am very late to this conversation but I thought I would add a couple of things incase someone visits it. I am married to a Argentine and have my DNI, I pay someone to manage my Monotributo intake and outtake. I have a couple of video cameras and some sound and lighting gear and...
