My water usage is included in my HOA bill. However, my HOA bill has drastically gone up since December. It still is reasonable compared to comparable property I own in the States. But my electricity bill has also gone up. IIRC I usually pay less than $30 dollars per month and my last bill...

Signed up in November but mostly just lurk. I purchased an apartment here many years ago. I mostly just rent it out on Airbnb but I hope to someday retire to Buenos Aires so I like to keep tabs on what is going on there. I don't get there as much as I would like to but I enjoy the city. I...

If the banter wanders into the realm of life's unbearable dance with financial crises, and the debate takes an unexpected twist: Wives buying expenses purses from Lopez and expensive Prada shoes and custom-made British Crockett & Jones shoes from London then we might have a pretty darn good...

Ha! Roundabouts are tricky in many countries so this isn't unique to Argentina but Argentina they don't slow down like most places! They speed up! Argentines don't follow most rules on anything. Taxes, laws, common sense so don't expect driving to be different. Cars are bigger than a person so...

I totally agree. Sure it's painful for everyone. No one is disputing that. My heartaches for my Porteño friends but this escalation has been building up for years. As @GlasgowJohn mentioned, there is a cause and effect when you artificially manipulate things which is what Fernandez as...

Yep exactly. I went in there to watch a soccer match once. It's a popular spot with expats. When I was there, there were a lot of English speakers but it might have been because the UK was playing. Good selection of beer and friendly service.

@Howard Stern it doesn't sound like your realtor had you bringing in the cash legally. It might not batter now that Milei is president but you could have issues when you go to sell the property. A friend brought in cash through a cueva many years ago and when he sold it, he had to pay all...

@StatusNomadicus I am not sure if it actually posted. On my end it said posted but others told me that Igor when someone posts something he doesn't agree with, it looks like it's posted but there is a delay. I do not know if this is true or not but I saw it on my end for a minute and then it...

I am the one that suggested to @earlyretirement to lock the thread about Igor. There are so many important economic and political things that are serious that are going on in Argentina. Many of my local friends are scared of the unknown and people are wasting time debating this. I have been...

@Chris check out Hospital Italiano. A member of this forum said he inquired about his father. https://www.expatsba.com/threads/is-the-expat-party-in-buenos-aires-coming-to-an-end.40/page-7#post-1658

@Che Vos I think this is enough of you talking like this about the cubierto. Many people don't like paying these including me. It sounds like the OP is new and doesn't know you can tell the restaurant you don't want it and don't have to pay. We were all new to BA at one point. I enjoy some...

FYI. Western Union was 923 today when I sent myself funds.

Western Union rate today was over 900 pesos to $1 USD. FYI.

Today I sent myself funds with Western Union and I got 885 pesos to $1 USD.

This is such horrible and WRONG advice. I have read some of your posts on the other forum and you always post incorrect and horrible advice. Are you the same guy that said having the Charles Schwab account was a bad idea and Capital One was better? LOL. You post the worst advice! You do NOT...

Today in the afternoon I got a quote to send myself a Western Union and the rate was 940 pesos to $1USD. Visa was giving 945 to $1USD. Why would anyone use Western Union for most things. Yes I know if they have to pay rent or something but why would you not use credit cards whenever you can...

Nah it’s not difficult at all. Just adds about 2.5% to the price but you can easily have a broker buy bonds and then give you the US dollars. It’s quick and easy.
