Future move to Argentina. Need advice on a few things

Another note to add is that the vast majority of posters on this site are what would be considered "macristas", supporters of the opposition, so any comment about the current government and political situation should be taken with a very large pinch (or truck load) of salt.

Check the Pehuajo, Bs. As. province, area. Rural town, good agricultural land, modestly priced private bilingual school. Boring, perhaps, but safe. 5 hours by car from BA.

I'm probably the only Marxist/leftist/socialist on here but I'm going to defend the Macristas of the forum and say I agree with many of their diagnoses/observations/complaints, where we differ is in the treatment of the problems, i.e. I'm not willing to eliminate planes sociales or think feminism is a bad thing, but we should definitely be selling Campora Airlines, and the peso should be allowed to float, etc. (Unless we're talking about Patricia Bullrich, in that case I have a four letter word to describe her.)

You really have to be living in an alternate universe or eating/drinking/breathing an all K5N/Pagina 12 diet to think Peronism/Kirchnerism is a good thing (or maybe you're a K ñoqui or something). Life has gotten demonstrably worse for the average Argentine under Alberto, and yet the only thing the Ks have to offer is more of the same with a heap of "ah, pero Macri...".

The complaints on here are real and based in reality, the proposed solutions are another thing.

My mother is Argentine and we have a large family in Buenos Aires and Cordoba. I'm going to try get dual citizenship through birthright, I've already got a self sufficient company set up in my home country, yes I've been to Argentina many times and my Spanish is terrible ATM but I usually pick it back up after a month or so in the country.

I'm still yet to really figure out the functionality of this website properly as I'm still a noob!

Well, in that case you're actually better prepared than 95% who come here asking these questions, so I shall eat some crow.

You have the right to citizenship by option, you can do it at the Argentine consulate near you or here in Argentina. Here's the details on it: https://www.argentina.gob.ar/obtener-la-ciudadania-argentina#1

To turbo charge your Spanish, have you, your wife, and kids start using Duolingo now.

If your parents are still with us, what are their thoughts on coming back?

As for income, I'm guessing you'll finance your life here through passive income obtained abroad... that will be an interesting one you'll need to run by an accountant and tax attorney here because after a year you'd become a tax resident of Argentina and then the fun would begin. Seriously look for advice on this from a professional, none of us are in a position to substitute for that.

You'll likely find some great deals in dollars for land, and as someone else said, go for the Hilux, it's a very popular vehicle with a long waitlist of people to buy them, so lots of parts too.

I am definitely not a Macrista, rather I am comparing Argentina to the country where I am from and things are so hopeless here. That is why I told my girlfriend I am happy to visit Argentina as a tourist, but I will not become a resident and be here all of the time, because as a "wealthy foreigner" I am not willing to pay the taxes here. I have no issues paying taxes in my home country or any normal country as it is a responsible thing to do, but here it is not, because taxes here are not reasonable anymore, they are unscrupulous theft. So the plan is to become a resident of Uruguay and travel back and forth to Europe and Argentina as tourists.
