    I recently moved back to Argentina and I am considering dropping Medicare Part B. During all my retirement years, I have been enrolled in a UHC AARP Medicare Advantage Plan. When I retired and began researching healthcare plans, all the information I received was centered around Medicare...

    Milei's diet program.

    To paraphrase Lenin, a follower of Milei is someone who would vote for someone who will starve him to death with that vote.

    Notifying the SSA of moving to Argentina

    The main dilemma for me is the address issue. The correct address seems to be the pivot that would make everything work smoothly. My bank, as well as other banks I have inquired with, require a physical address in the US. A credit union I opened an account with told me that not having a US...

    Notifying the SSA of moving to Argentina

    My question arises from the fact that here (OH) I cannot find precise answers to the issues that happens when emigrating from the US. One tries to prepare the path as best as possible and smooth out future difficulties. You are correct about local offices not being able to provide an accurate...

    Notifying the SSA of moving to Argentina

    No crystal ball. Just historical memory. And I won't get into this. I was born in Argentina and have lived long enough to have seen all of this before. I refrained from opining when reading the nonsense written here regarding the miracles this Milei will perform and wont start now. 10-10.

    Notifying the SSA of moving to Argentina

    But in order to receive that form, SSA has to know one is residing overseas. My question remains: Is there a downside to the SSA being notified of the move overseas? I ask because of the answer above: "not a peep" etc

    Notifying the SSA of moving to Argentina

    I am planning to move to Argentina. I would like to ask how retirees here have handled notifying ‌ the SSA of their move. I am not entirely sure if I will stay in Argentina for a few months, a year, or several years. I have Medicare Part A and B and intend to keep them, regardless of the length...

    Smoked Sausage?

    That “nasty red food coloring” will be, if you are willing to spend what it takes to purchase a high quality chorizo colorado, pimenton a.k.a. paprika. If you look for el cheapo chorizo, well… red No. 40 for you. Kielbasa is no health food last I looked.

    I would like to bring a personal, used bicycle to Argentina through airport customs and have a Bill of Sale for it. I would like to ask if anyone here has done this and how their experience was with customs, taxes, and any other relevant information. Thank you.

    Milei Says He’s the Future of Argentina

    “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. Many who post opinions here would do well to ask knowledgeable people who were here or read and study about how life was here in the past, and which governments built the city and social structure that many come here to enjoy...

    Using ALLIANT Credit Union to bank from Argentina

    In the near future, I am relocating to AR and am looking for a US Bank that will not have any issues with accessing my funds from AR. This includes allowing not having a residential US address, not red-flagging my IP address and allowing two-factor authentication through email, not through SMS...
