Budgeting for raising two children in a small pueblo

[jblaze5779]

Just so you know the guys that work for me as oil workers make about 2500 a month and that is a really really really good job..... and they only work half the month... and they live in an high cost of living city...

Your girl is banking all that extra money with her family. I don't know you but they're gaming you and putting those dollhairs under the mattress. (imo)

Say you lost access to your dollars and can now only get pesos. See what happens, should be a good indication.

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 her 4k to 10k a month to raise 2 kids in small town Santa Fe?

Unless you're living in San Isidro, sending your kids to the most expensive private schools, health insurance, expensive meals out and so on, how the hell does anyone run through 10k a month here not even counting rent? Especially during COVID times.

They complain when you order some extra take out food for the help? I don't want to make any judgements without knowing your in-laws, but that doesn't give me the best impression of them.

Tell her you had a rough month of finances and you need to cut back.

To answer your question,,I'd say 2k would be generous

Not $10k. Up to $4k. Typically between $3k-4k a month.

This guy makes $2500 USD in Argentina working two weeks out of the month? Nice job.

Dougie,

According to Fiscal, she is paying $100.00 USD per month to rent a house from her parents. Her housing costs are definitely in line. The question is: Where is the other $3,900.00 per month going? I am dizzy just thinking about it all.

well yes you are getting ripped off..... you couldnt even blow through 1000 us dollars (150,000 pesos in blue) in a small town.... that is 5000 pesos a day
you are saying she is going through 20,000 a day.... hahahahaha this has to be a trolling joke..... ok.... i am going back to my wine drinking...i cant take anymore.

Sounds like you’re ripping them off

I might take that for working half the year...

Not all it’s cracked up to be.
If you took Argentine national holiday into account and weekends there’s not a massive difference. Then you miss birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries weddings etc etc etc.
I wouldn’t entertain it for 2500USD
