It does beg the question if Argentina has such valuable assets why aren't they mining them for the betterment of their country?

Number one I am not jumping and live in Argentina the majority of the year . Patagonia is a asset of the argentinian people and being a citizen of this country it is of great interest to me that it is not ceded for payment of external debt in case of a default . Many people in the know concede...

You are very wrong Argentina is of great interest to the élite due to having the most important natural resources on the planet. Patagonia is the jewel in the crown and could be taken away from us for payment of the external debt. Read up on it and inform yourself

The world media is in overdrive in presenting a negative image on Argentinas future . For me I find it very distressing that this unique beautiful country is being LED to económic ruin. I feel also pity for the vultures who are waiting in the sidelines to make profit on devalued assets. But what...

Real estate is not for the faint of heart in Argentina. When we sold our farm at the end of 2016, part of the payment was another piece of real estate which was rented out to a commercial enterprise. Phenomenal location, great rental history, etc. The buyer of our farm said it was worth X. We...

LOLOL. Yes. You won't be getting married to a second wife if you have a first wife. That's bigamy. And a no in most countries in the world. Best of luck to you.

Children born overseas (unless on a US military base aren't considered "natural born citizens". So probably no on the presidency ;) I'll also be a debbie downer. You realize if you move to Argentina and the child is born in Argentia, if you divorce, you will need to remain in Argentina until...

Real Estate deals generally are quite complex here so your best bet is talking directly to the property. The norm is still in cash but there are always creative ways to structure.

Unfortunately in order to get inflation under control and get the economy started in the right direction, we all are going to have to feel the pain for a while (many of us have already for a long time). I posted about this before but my light bills went to 5000+ a month. Guess what, I don't like...

That's fantastic news! We were just discussing a similar experience. Recently, we purchased some land here in the US, and the seller was genuinely delighted that we opted for a cash payment. The prospect of a swift transaction without the complexities of a mortgage quickly made us his preferred...

Just to make sure I'm clear - when they raised the rent in April '12, did you sign a contract? If so, what was the length of that contract? They can't raise the price if the contract is still in effect at x price but if it expires in Oct, then I'm not sure there is much that can be done...

I'm sure someone will be along to argue shortly. :rolleyes: And I should rephrase, there are more murders in the US in sheer numbers due to population size but the percentage of murders is higher in Argentina with 5.5 per 100K of population here in Arg vs 4.6 per 100K in the US. The scary...

Just in case anyone missed this, Farenheit posted this link which is really scary. More robberies in Argentina than any other country in the Americas (North/Central/South) De hecho, la Argentina tiene la tasa de robos más alta de América , según un informe del Observatorio Hemisférico de la...

I too want to know how a family of 4 lives on 4K USD a month - clearly I'm budgeting wrong! To the poster above - no Arlean, most places outside of Argentina simply won't take pesos at all. Or if they do, they might offer you an exchange rate of 7-1, 8-1, etc. So if you want to travel outside...

I"m still trying to understand the "not recognizing the divorce" fact. I know several people who were married and divorced outside of Argentina and their divorces were recognized without issue. Were you married here? If so, how did you get divorced outside of the country? If you were married...

Wellllllll... there is that 14 days of vacation (to start) - it goes up based on time worked. Plus your 14 feriados. Plus your unlimited sick days. Plus your study days if you are in school. Employees here aren't exactly worked to the bone

I actually refused to do it on the 2 times employees tried to sue (in 3 years). All the employees were 100% in white, they had QUIT and then threatened to sue. I think they were shocked when I refused to settle with them, they were 100% expecting it. We went to the initial arbitration and they...

Carli - the only issue I see with that is there is no direct flight to China that I know of right now. On my last trip, I had either the option of routing through S. Africa or through the US. Going there, I left on wed and arrived on Friday. It's not impossible but that's a long flight for...

NY apts have a fabulous ROI if you can afford to buy there and there is NO shortage of renters. In general, in my previous world, we actually saw a lot of signs of improvement in the economy and lots and lots of companies making lots of money and hiring. While it's certainly not the most rosy of...

Doesn't McDonalds import the french fries? I thought there was a story a while back about them not having french fries due to the fact that McCains couldn't get enough into the country. I would be surprised if they closed down BUT at this stage, anything is possible. I can't imagine what...
