    Got a job offer to relocate to Buenos Aires - Worth it with 3 children? What budget would I need?

    Wow thank you everyone for sharing your stories. This is shocking to hear. I heard things were a bit different there but it is shocking after living in Latin America before. We didn't think Mexico was bad at all. By and far most were honest. This sounds scary. We will have to re-evaluate if...

    Got a job offer to relocate to Buenos Aires - Worth it with 3 children? What budget would I need?

    That is terrible. We lived in Mexico City and not speaking Spanish we still got by. My company will help us with contacts. All of my team in BA all speaks English. @ChaChaK can you explain how you got ripped off of thousands of dollars? That is not nice to hear. I do worry about my kids but...

    Thanks to all for answering. Wow I am shocked to hear prices are so much more today vs only 1.5 years ago when my coworker was stationed there in BA. She did not have kids. I read statistics that talked about average salaries and low rental prices. How can the average family with kids afford...

    Got a job offer to relocate to Buenos Aires - Worth it with 3 children? What budget would I need?

    Thanks. Good questions. My office is near Puerto Madero but I heard there were no houses there. We would ideally want a 4 bedroom house so we have plenty of room. None of us speak Spanish including me. I am not opposed to my kids learning some Spanish but the school would need to primarily be...

    I just got a job offer to relocate to Argentina. We enjoy traveling and we have relocated several times with my work. Once to Mexico City and another time to São Paulo. I have 3 children. All of them under 6 years old. Both my husband and I have done a lot of research but we are finding...
