Yes I also believe this to be the case. Even if there is a global economic crash, in other countries everyone is up to their eyeballs in debt. Here in Argentina there is no one up to their eyeballs in debt. There is not really credit here. Everyone owns their property outright that isn't...

Good luck! I have had a problem finding spicy foods in Buenos Aires. I also LOVE spicy foods and been struggling to find anything that challenges my palette. I have gone to Chinatown and tried a few but nothing really spicy. Thank you! I will try those! I have a few more weeks before I...

I thought it was a fabulous speech! I am very impressed with him so far. All people's worst fears about him have proven to be unfounded. He has come to the center on the issues that people were the most afraid. That is the sign of a very strong and good leader when they admit they were...

I also heard this. I guess it would be smart for expats to get insurance here before they get too old. Does anyone know if you have to have a DNI or permanent residency before you can buy health insurance? I guess that would be one reason to get your permanent residency that I never thought...

Such great advice @Wayfinders! I saw your website! Wow! Quite a website! I LOVE it. Those photos are unreal! https://wayfinderadventures.com/

Thanks so much for the initial consultation the other day @earlyretirement. It was so informative. I LOVED hearing the story of how you met Lucho. @Lucho, I feel like I know you. Mike spent 2.5 hours with me and I enjoyed hearing about how he met you! I can't wait for the book to come out...

Congrats @earlyretirement ! Wow, what an honor. I saw last week they also appointed Doug Casey on the Advisory Board. Heavy hitters!

Bad and incorrect advice. I agree with you. I'm not sure if this is the same clown as on the other Expat board but I've read a lot of posts that are just wrong by a poster with the same name.

Hi @Portenha. I follow @sunweatherman! Great content! I agree about this community. I know it's new but I feel at home here on this site. I can't wait till there is more content but it seems like it's growing fast. I saw this post on Twitter already has 1,630 views in 2 days! (Very smart...

I was thinking about the Model X until I read about the repair bills and cost to replace a damaged windshield! $3,500 is crazy. So your insurance company paid $7,000 to replace 2 damaged windshields? In Canada it cost like $350 US to replace a windshield on a normal car. $3,500 is crazy...

Oh wow! That was probably smart booking something for 2 years if you know you will be in Buenos Aires long term. I am looking to possibly move down here. I need to go back home to Canada in a few weeks but I can work remote and I can't find any downside to working remote from Buenos Aires...

I have had mostly good luck with Google Maps but I pre-downloaded the entire Buenos Aires offline map which I find helps improve things and also helps with battery drain on my iPhone. I also utilize maps.me. It operates offline, eliminating the need for a data connection. My primary issue with...

Interesting. I was just wondering about this. I asked @earlyretirement for a referral to an immigration attorney and he sent me this company. https://argentinaresidency.com/our-services Maybe ask Lorena there for a free initial consultation and she might be able to explain it. What is your...

Ok thanks! I will go and see it. Are there any high floor 1 bedroom units left on the high floor? Is that unit left still from that video next to the 2 that you own? You can DM me. Thanks. I'm looking forward to our consultation tomorrow.

All your gift shopping needs can be fulfilled at the Sunday feria in San Telmo (not the market). Here are some representative gift ideas from the feria: Rhodochrosite jewelry, featuring the ubiquitous pink gemstone, or uncut pieces of the stone. Handmade mate and bombilla sets. Even if someone...

Argentina won’t join BRICS as scheduled, says member of Milei’s transition team - Associated Press December 2, 2023 Source: https://apnews.com/article/brics-argentina-milei-mondino-e428ca065e093ccb5ecad5d19bc5963d President-elect Javier Milei waves during a joint session of Congress to...

^That's highly unlikely to happen though. Unless you are traveling as a group and everyone has exactly $9999 on them or you have suspicious travel history like traveling between colombia and miami every weekend. But for a single person carrying a $9k stack in cash is nothing, it draws zero...

LOL. So you have a crystal ball that can see the future? Your "hunch". LOL. What did your hunch say about the past few decades or even the last few years and Massa as Economic Minister? You thought that went sooo well?
