One thing is definitely true. In Argentina it's always better to be an owner vs. having to worry about renting if you're going to live in Argentina over the long-haul. It's going to be a mess for most people to worry about finding affordable rentals once their lease ends. Prices relative to...

I agree @GlasgowJohn about the huge spreads. What do you believe the spread will be? Like you, I tell all my friends (and they tell me too) that they have NO idea how things will turn up. Just like you mentioned, most of my friends even the ones that work at banks tell me they don't know how...

I tried a few places and i agree that the pizza in Argentina is no where near as flavorful as in the USA. I just don't think they use quality ingredients. But one of my favorites is El Mazacote. Also, try the Empanadas. They are also really great! Website...

Yes, they ALL charge a commission and it just depends on the particular day. It's all based on supply and demand and it changes just like the blue dollar rate. There isn't any set %. It can change based on supply and demand any given hour of the day. You will get a quote and I think it also...

Check this out. It's not too complicated. https://help.coinbase.com/en/wallet/sending-and-receiving/how-do-i-send-and-receive-crypto-through-wallet My friend sends in stable coins to cuevas that just send them the address to send to. Obviously they will charge a commission.

Yesterday the official "white" rate was only 365 pesos to $1 US and today I looked at: https://www.dolarito.ar/ And it's showing the official rate at 800!

Yes, the salaries here are VERY low. My lawyer friends make less than $1,200 USD per month. My friends that are office workers make around $700 to /800 USD per month equivalent. I'm not sure how much RN's make here but I wouldn't guess they make too much. You are much better suited to go...

Argentina is CASH only society. People really don't want to mess around with crypto here vs. cash. My uncle purchased a property here and I had to go to the closing with him to help him carry cash. Definitely the advice to make sure all the cash is brought in legally is a good one. Many...

Bummer Guatemala 4551 isn't available for short-term. I stayed in that tower before COVID. I think some owners are still renting short-term on the down low. My friend definitely stayed there less than 6 months. He was here for 1 month and rented a 1 bedroom unit.

I agree ZonaProp is a bad platform. I was interested in buying and sent an email and I didn't hear back for 4 days. Then I took pause when I saw the same exact apartment and both claimed to be the realtor on it. Worse yet, they had 2 different prices! I wish Buenos Aires had something like...

Other than a stroll on a Sunday with my girlfriend I don't feel like we want to be down there too much. Not too much to do or see. I don't think the restaurants are too good either. It seems like a lot of business people stay there at the Hilton but that is it.

Has anyone tried to do the type of reforms that Milei is suggesting Argentina needs to do? I genuinely don't know. If anyone can enlighten me?

Certainly, that is true. Recipients of these benefits also play a crucial role in contributing to the economy through their purchases and utilization of various services. Even though economy class seats on a plane might not be the most profitable, they remain essential and contribute to the...

It's the Medicaid program in the USA. - https://www.medicaid.gov/ People often express dissatisfaction with exorbitant medical and college tuition expenses. While it's understandable to voice concerns when faced with such high costs, many who complain might manage to afford them by reordering...

Would it equally astonish you to learn that a 64-year-old received a liver transplant in the USA, and all the medical expenses before and after the transplant, including ongoing medication, are fully covered by government-sponsored free insurance? Additionally, the government provides free Home...

Strictly from an economic and financial perspective, the contrast in what $3,000 USD can buy in Argentina versus the US is undeniable. Although certain items like clothing and electronics might be relatively pricey by international standards in Argentina, the majority of other essentials—such as...

Wow, the lines at the Western Union offices are really long. I've never seen anything like this. I've seen long lines but not this long. Maybe it's because it's a holiday weekend? The MEP rate today when I was looking at it was around 920 to 933 to $1 USD (https://www.dolarito.ar) and the...
