I read it, but I'm not sure how much I agree with that. For example, if you're paying 3-10% transfer fees, that is a lot... but if your rent (the biggest expense for most people) went down 85%, then you're still extremely happy to be living outside of the US. Let's say your transfer fees are...

Well a lot of service professionals were in their teens or early twenties then - guess they didn't have a lot of work experience 20 years ago :)

Hah that's a million-dollar question :) 30,000 is probably the minimum - that's easy to estimate just by looking at the number of people in FB groups. However, I've been running FB ads recently. And Facebook gives you a cool targeting option. If you select: - Buenos Aires - Expat - Speaks...

Google Maps usually has pictures of menus - really easy to find info, just very laborious :)

One thing I really want to do is to compare just how much the prices of restaurants have gone up. Everyone says a lot - but just how much? My idea was to go back to December 2023 and look at the prices of 100-200 restaurants for bife de chorizo. Also, look up the blue dollar rate for that day...

Yeah the schools are the big expense - the difference ends up being over $1k/month. I was surprised too but then again, I only had 16 families answer, I'm really hoping to repeat the survey later with a larger sample size.

Thanks! Yeah I made a few mistakes - I should have asked for age - I'm assuming older expats are paying more for health insurance, similar to how prices for Belgrano appear to be higher but that's mostly because families live there so they have higher expenses (bigger apartments, own a car...

What link did you click? I switched everything to Argentina Expat, Buenos Guide is no longer active

Hey all, The survey is out! It ended up being just about Buenos Aires (lack of responses in other areas). Interesting facts: - Median cost of living is $1,550 - Median rent is $650 - Rent is almost always 40% of total monthly expenses Here's more information...

that's fair - appreciate the submission!

By the way, I haven't forgotten about this; I just haven't gotten enough data yet. It will probably be just for Buenos Aires since I couldn't find enough people in other cities willing to fill it out. At 82 submissions for Buenos Aires, so if you want to help me out and get it to over 100...

Thanks @Vince and @Betsy Ross ! Yeah I'm actually hoping to get a wide range of responses - that way I can breakdown the article into: Cost of living for a single expat, cost of living for a family, etc. Currently at 58 submissions, I'm hoping to get 100-200 before I start analyzing the data...

Buenos dias everyone, If you have 5 mins, could you do me a favor and fill out this short survey about your cost of living in Argentina? https://tally.so/r/m6koJO Don't worry - it's 100% anonymous. I'm collecting data and when I have enough responses, I'll share the results. Thanks -...

Depends. According to lawyers and realtors I’m talking to, 2024 so far was the busiest time when it comes to foreigners coming here and especially buying properties. Love him or hate him, a lot of people have more confidence in Argentinian economy since Milei got elected and there is a big...

So the YT channel is empty now - I just have it as a next to do (after guide creation). I’ll probably start posting videos later this month based on subscriber desires. Open to suggestions!

Hey so I was not planning on advertising here - someone else mentioned my guide and I just hopped in to answer questions :) I have a YouTube channel and a blog listed as ideas for free content- that’s coming. I appreciate the fact moderators let me post my newsletter here, but I don’t think it...

I completely agree - that's why I have a "feedback/suggestions" part of the membership area. The customers can leave feedback with services and if several people report a decline in service I'll remove the person. Also they can recommend other services that might be useful. That's why it being a...

Thanks! Also - I really don't pretend to be an expert on Argentina. I just spend A LOT of time interviewing people and writing things down. Customers get lifetime access to the guide and all updates (I already have a backlog of 20 ideas to implement - everything from video interviews with...

hey no one paid to be included there. I basically spent a bunch of time interviewing dozens of expats, scouring Facebook threads, and then double-checking their contact info/social media. Pretty much all of them have been recommended somewhere on the internet (Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, etc.) by...

Hey thanks for sharing this! I wasn't planning on sharing this here, it was just for the subscribers. Regarding the info: sure - you could probably find most of this information on your own. But it took me over 100 hours to find and organize everything, working with lawyers, realtors, doctors...
