Happy New Year!

[admin]

As we get ready to welcome 2025, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for being part of this community. Whether you arrived in Argentina recently or have been calling it home for years, your experiences, questions, and insights have made this space vibrant and supportive.

This year hasn’t been easy – with big changes and new challenges. Economic shifts and uncertainty have made life a little more complicated for many of us. I hope the new year brings better times for everyone.

What are your goals or plans for the year ahead?

Wishing you all the best for 2025!

Well, we all owe you a debt of thanks for putting up with us which I'm sure isn't easy, and I also assume for paying for the site's hosting and maintaining it since I don't think I've ever seen an ad, so thank you for all that you do too!

After some delays with the PJN I'm finally naturalizing as a citizen, so I'm looking forward to that and all the turnos related to new DNI, unifying my CUIT, updating my DNI everywhere, etc.

We're also moving to a new apartment, something I hate doing, but I've so fallen out of love with our current place that it's honestly for the best. Last summer we had no power for weeks (not the building's fault, the entire manzana was like this) but our expensas shot up from about $100 USD/month for the first 2.5 years and are now about 250K/month, yet we have nothing to show for it; no pool, no SUM, no theater, no security, no repairs, etc. so it's just the consortium robbing the owners/tenants blind, and that was the last straw. Luckily I found us a place that's 60% bigger and cheaper, so we're just fixing/painting things at the new place before we move.

Otherwise just trying to save money/sell things we can live without to do the repairs/buy things for the new apartment. My incessant nagging about wanting to move to Patagonia might finally be paying off as my husband said he's willing to consider living outside of CABA/GBA if that means we can own a home more easily, but we'll see what the economy is like in 3 years when our lease is up, and if we can get a mortgage. It won't be the picturesque boonies of Neuquen, but maybe some compromise between nature and a town/city with a functioning medical system and airport.

Here's hoping all our collective aspirations come true; happy 2025 everyone!
