    Milei wants the retirement age of Argentines to be raised

    I don't agree with extending the age but I think it should be equal for both genders. The root problem is the millions of retirement plans gave away from previous goverments to people that didn't pay for those. But retirment depending on the money of others is not good, we should have something...

    President Milei has now traveled 20% of his entire Presidency in other countries

    The president is the representative of the country to the rest of the world, I prefer a president doing this rather than staying all the time in the country drinking champagne in Olivos and 'playing' with girls or meeting with Maduro or having Zoom calls with Putin. And I prefer spending money...

    Food & Drink The best Malbec in the world is Argentine

    I believe there's a bit of truth in both stories, legend says that it tasted so bad that they called it "mal bouche" instead of "Malbec".

    According to Ruckauf (vice-president during Menem's presidency) probably around January because Trump will be president and that should help releasing the loan from the MFI. To remove the cepo the government needs to have a good backup of US$ in the bank.

    Not the whole income but whatever is transfered from abroad to a local bank account. E.g: you transfer from Wise to a local bank account then you need to invoice that otherwise you may be on AFIP's eyes. Declaring the whole income is virtually impossible unless you want to pay around 70%...

    Well, there has to be a legal framework even on a libertarian government. I've been doing this for around 10 years and I always invoiced whatever money I got into my bank account.

    Newcomer A Large Percentage of Argentinians Want to Be Digital Nomads: A Growing Trend!

    Bills depend on the area 'Estrato' you are living: I'm in Estrato 5 (6 is the maximum) and I pay around 40 US$ for electricity / 20 US$ for water, gas is virtually free. Lower 'estratos' pay less than that. My decisions are money / investment related: it's easier to invest and expand my...

    Newcomer A Large Percentage of Argentinians Want to Be Digital Nomads: A Growing Trend!

    I've been using 'crypto-cuevas' before they existed XD but always limited to 1000 US$ per month for monotributo and not being able to declare the rest legally. Fortunately we have the new 'Monotributo' law that allows you to get US$ ~5,6K per month but paying 15% taxes compared to 7% that I...

    Newcomer A Large Percentage of Argentinians Want to Be Digital Nomads: A Growing Trend!

    I lived all my life in Argentina, and I probably will get back, but working remotely and earning in US$ for over 10 years in a country where you can't get the money in is not fun so I had to try something else. Taxes in Colombia are low and timezone is aligned with EST so it's great for remote...
