I shall remain positive. I trust Millei knows what he's doing. Considering the mess the corrupt K's left I'd say he's doing alright. 👍

Our main income is in pesos so rises with inflation.

I'm a foreigner and if anything my standard of living has improved since coming to live here permanently 16 years ago. Now that the K regime has been sussed out things can only get better. Onwards and upwards I say. 👍

The only reason I can think of is an Argentine company having an agreement with the bank so a foreign employee temporarily based here can collect their salary.

Must admit to being amazed when reading posts from those who were able to open bank accounts without a DNI. Especially as there's not a lot else you can do here without showing a DNI.

You must hang about with the wrong type of folk then.

She's never liked him due to his political leanings. Must admit most of what she says about religion and politics goes in one ear and straight out the other with me. I don't give either topic much thought....got nicer things to occupy my mind with. 😁

It's hardly surprising given how long he's been in the job. Considering the disaster the last bunch of chancers left it'll take years not months for things to get better.

My missus who is Argentine born also has British and Spanish passports. I got the feeling the reason she gave me for not bothering with getting Argentine residency was purely a financial one....there's nothing to be gained. Quite the opposite I believe.

I've had my residency for 15 years. When I recently mentioned to the missus about Citizenship she said ''Forget it. You're British what on earth do you want Argentine citizenship for?''. She's right there are no advantages whatsoever....just hassle.

Don't get me wrong I don't expect to have the same range and quality of food available here as I can get when dining out in Scotland. As I said the locals seem to be happy enough to eat pasta and pizza all the time when not eating asado. I just wish the restaurants would be a bit more...
