There is nothing wrong with living with your parents until you actually need the extra space, perhaps until after you get married and/or have a child. I think such arrangements should be encouraged and not looked upon as some kind of failure. It's good for the finances of everyone and also...

Glad to hear things are working out. It takes courage and compassion to give someone another chance. The theft of food and toilet paper are probably the only things I am willing overlook once, I would agree with others that the theft of money or jewelry should result in immediate dismissal...

Forecasts are never guaranteed to be accurate or even close due to various unforeseen reasons. However, forecasts do have an effect on people's behavior and investment decisions. That in turn has an effect on future inflation rate. Consider what would happen if they had forecasted 310%...

1. I respect people's choices when it comes to vaccines, regardless of their rationales behind their decisions. With that said, I personally believe in getting all required and US CDC recommended vaccines. There are risks and side effects, some of which are higher for certain people and for...

Apparently you should get the Yellow Fever vaccine at least 10 days before going to Iguazu if you haven't gotten it already.

If you believes Milei went to Paris mainly to see the Olympics, consider the following: 1. If you look at the countries with the most voting power in the IMF and the World Bank, you should notice the importance of visiting the US, Germany, Italy, and yes, France, unless you think the Argentina...

Just a few things to keep in mind: 1. As I explained in the post linked below, it's important to consider what date range you are comparing to get a better perspective before making a conclusion about a trend...

I would compare this to a company doing a stock buyback program using profits / cash flow generated from operations. That would be different from doing a stock buyback by issuing more debt which is more like what the previous administration did. One thing to keep in mind about a stock buyback...

Milei should definitely be there! I don't understand how anyone reading through the following article can come back with a different conclusion...

People often use historical data to support their opinions, but we should be aware that it makes a big difference what the date range of the data is being evaluated to come to their conclusions. For example: 1. Wow, 40% increase in 2 months If you just look at the last couple of months, one...

Panama, with 82% indicating they are happy there is on top of the Expat Insider list. Based on the responses on this thread thus far, the satisfaction rate for Argentina seems to be better than that of Panama. @Finance Prof pointed out that Argentina was probably left off the list due to a low...

In the latest Expat Insider report, Panama took the first spot. Argentina was not in the top 10, and it's not in the bottom 10 either. Actually, it's not even listed. Maybe they never heard of Argentina? Well, let's see how Argentina actually stacks up if the expats living here are asked...

When looking at the Argentina/China relationship, of course there are natural biases in terms of how people view who needs whom more. However, there is an universal truth and that this each country only care about their interests and all relationships between two countries are based on those...

@Finance Prof, you're correct that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Nowadays, there's really no true non-partisan, non-biased source of information anymore. People really have to read both sides and judge for themselves. Sadly, many only read just one side now. When one side is...

If you only listen to one side of the story, you never get to the truth. The guy who claims Milei was not invited by the named organization doesn't actually have license to use that name. So, no, he was not punked. Milei was invited by the founder of the institute and holder of the license to...

With the Bases Law in the pocket, Milei is free to implement a "more persuasive" Tax Amnesty program to bring back more dollars. Milei's administration seems to have developed a reputation of being able to find corruption and fraud in places where others did not want to look or were previously...

To anyone who does not believe getting foreign investments is a very important priority for Argentina, then we can just agree to disagree and you don't have to read the rest of this post. Foreign investment includes getting loans from organizations such as the IMF, the World Bank, and for...

I keep seeing comments from people criticizing Milei's oversea trips, even from those who generally support his policies. Let's not forget that one of Milei's objectives is to make Argentina business friendly for international investors. All the changes in the world won't help if no one knows...

Before rushing to judgement about the incident of the old man being sprayed, consider these points: 1. The officers who actually sprayed him and the other protesters are behind two lines of other officers directly facing the protesters. That means it's unlikely they saw them clearly or...

Everyone certainly can disagree with how the government chooses where to spend or where not spend taxpayers' money. The government has many priorities that are related and many that are not related as well. It's totally fine if you believe that the money should be spent somewhere else, but I...
