Thanks for all the responses. I was referring more to how the author positions Argentina as a nirvana for his "mini-retirements" (forget about his tango feats), than the relative merits of whether a 4 hour work week is possible. Given the much publicized increase in prices in Argentina since Ferriss first published his book in 2007, I query whether Argentina is still relevant in this regard. For those who haven't read the book, Ferriss positions Argentina as a place where expats can "live like a rockstar". How many expats on this blog are doing so?
