Good news for everyone. Rates have been going up drastically lately.

Not sure if the homeless know about the program. I sure notice a big increase in people sleeping on the streets these days. Hopefully they will bring awareness to the homeless.

Outside of the downtown area you would never know there was anything going on. Business as usual.

They are just playing with you @Jenn. It's not that bad! It has gotten much better over the years. NO ONE picked up when I first moved here and now once in a while I see see people picking up. Many cities in the USA are disgusting now too. Have you been to San Francisco, Portland or Chicago...

Many buses with the same number can have different branches that follow different routes. For instance, look at the routes for Line 39 in Buenos Aires. You might see "Linea 39 Ramal 2 Chacarita por Plaza Italia" and "Linea 39 Ramal 3 Chacarita por Plaza Serrano." This may not be immediately...

When they first introduced this CEPO" thing, you could exchange $200 USD at the official rate at the bank. But now, to do that, you need to go through a validation process with BCRA, ANSES, and some other stuff. So, in simple terms, this option probably isn't for you or other expats like you...

Argentina is such a civilized place. Much of South America is a zoo.

Having all the employment rights doesn't mean much if there are no jobs left because they've been regulated out of existence. It's like having the only job option being sitting at home doing nothing. Many people nowadays seem a bit delusional, not realizing that if you keep pushing people with...

If you're stuck with a temporary rental and can't switch to a better Airbnb, your choices are a bit like having only one flavor of ice cream. The public Personal Wi-Fi Zone is okay for checking emails, but don't expect it to throw a big internet party. For a more exciting option, you could grab...

Ah, the allure of the Forex stage, where currencies dance and fortunes sway in the unpredictable winds of the market! Yet, here I am, navigating the sea of tuna cans, my vessel of financial wisdom floating amidst a sea of salty uncertainty. Who needs the adrenaline of currency speculation when...

It's like a telenovela where the exchange rates have their own dramatic storyline! In the first thrilling episode, the official exchange rate goes from 360 to 800 – a jaw-dropping twist that leaves us all gasping. But hold your popcorn, because the audience seems unfazed, and the parallel dollar...

Well, strap in folks, because @James Bond just came up with the ultimate anti-money-printing scheme! I call it "Unprinting Bucks Extravaganza" or UBE for short. Get this – instead of flooding the market with more cash, we'll be draining those pesos faster than you can say "hyperinflation." It's...

If you're sharing, I'd like to read or please post on this thread so everyone can read it. Thanks.

Indeed, the data on wealth distribution inequality across countries presents a compelling narrative: Namibia: 0.847 Zimbabwe: 0.845 Denmark: 0.808 Switzerland: 0.803 United States: 0.801 Gabon: 0.784 Central African Republic: 0.782 Upon analysis, it prompts an interesting contemplation...

All great posts. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! If you live up north you may want to think about this school. My friend's kid went there and he ended up going to Yale. https://baica.com/ Also, take note there is a Lincoln in Belgrano is not related to Lincoln La Lucila in any way. The...

Oh, by the way, Ex-President Macri did a kinda similar tax amnesty thing in 2016. This new Blanqueos y Cambios en Bienes Personales feels like a remix of the whole 'No hay plata!' situation we've been stuck in...

WOW! 21%? I never had to pay 21% tax on the apartment commission. Is that a new thing? I think my lawyer also wanted to charge that 21% on some bill and I told him hell no. And he said he couldn't give me an official receipt. I told him I don't need no official receipt!

Hey @Handy Andy! Kudos to you buddy. $4,803 USD per month in a pension. What did you do for a living? That's impressive as you're not fully retirement age so I'm guessing maybe you got hurt serving for our country or something? VA benefits? It's not that big of a deal to send some money for...

All great info and fascinating reading about the deportations both from the USA to Argentina and vice versa. It sounds like from both cases discussed here much depends on the discretion of the customs agent at the border and their mood for that day. Argentina is very easy compared to almost...

I don't like the pizza here but I love me some empanadas! I agree you can't really get a bad empanada. I even in a pinch have gotten them at the supermarket at Coto and they aren't bad in a pinch. My all time fav - Fortin Salteño IG - https://www.instagram.com/fortin_salteno/?hl=en...
