    Former President of Argentina, Alberto Fernández celebrated New Year's Eve in the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Madrid

    Oh, got it! So, my suspicion's confirmed – you're not really up on what Marxism, socialism, communism, and all that jazz actually mean. Just here for some good ol' crap posting fun, huh? Well, knock yourself out then!

    Former President of Argentina, Alberto Fernández celebrated New Year's Eve in the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Madrid

    This is a big reason why Argentina is in the mess it's in. Corruption of the CFK's and their friends.

    Any guesses where we think the Blue dollar exchange rate will head in 2024?

    Oh boy, you won't believe it! Back then, it was Menem's second go-around in the late 90s (1995-1999). Buenos Aires was strutting around like it owned the place, proudly flaunting its title as the most expensive capital in the whole wide world! Talk about living large and in charge! Those were...

    Price of Beef will skyrocket at Parillas and steak restaurants! Good time to become a vegeterian!

    Well, yes, that's certainly a conceivable scenario; it might be considered a long-term victory since, in the grand scheme, the free market is often seen as the most effective tool for reducing poverty. Admittedly, cleaning up the mess left by Peronism is bound to be a messy affair, with plenty...

    Is there anyway to contact Customer Service at Mercado Libre if you aren't a customer? Fraud Charges. Help.

    You might want to try to send them a Direct Message on Twitter (X). They purposely have no human options to contact them via customer service. It's annoying. But that worked for my girlfriend in Buenos Aires. https://twitter.com/Mercadolibre

    AOL is still a thing? I thought they went out of business in the late 1990's. Ha.

    Economy Dollarization of Argentina 101 - Can we agree on what it means and how it would be accomplished?

    NO need to even mention the 400 pesos to $1US as that # is meaningless now. It shouldn't even come into discussion as it was a fake artificial exchange rate

    Any guesses where we think the Blue dollar exchange rate will head in 2024?

    This is probably the most sound advice. Just watch ExpatsBA forum every day and watch things closely. Really with all the information on this website there is NO need to go to any other website. It's all here.

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    This reminds me of a post I saw on Facebook last week! I saw someone in the USA sharing a picture of their fancy "Argentine shrimp" dinner. The shrimp looked huge and tasty, not like the ones I saw while I was in Buenos Aires 6 weeks no matter where I went. Interestingly enough I read...

    Is the Expat party in Buenos Aires coming to an end?

    While it's tempting to envision Argentina following a similar trajectory, the reality is that each of these nations is distinctly unique. The disciplined approach observed in countries within the BRICS alliance is not necessarily mirrored in Argentina. Despite economic mismanagement, the...
