    Banking Getting dollars into Argentina to purchase real estate

    :ROFLMAO: Welcome to Argentina. The normal cars dealing with this. Sounds similar to when I bought. The best is how they say it is no big deal to walk around with life's savings around a city where most people only make $700 bucks a month. It is great there are dependable companies that can...

    Newcomer Moving to Pilar: Expat Opinions and Recommendations

    Speaking of Pilar they need to get rid of this 2% "environmental tax" they charge at supermarkets now. Total theft! This was started by the Peronist Mayor, Federico Archaval last year. Nothing Milei or Caputo can do about it either.

    Meat-loving Argentines shun beef as inflation bites

    Wine in BA is much much much cheaper than restaurants in the USA, especially top tier steakhouses. Tipping epidemic is also nut in USA. I went to visit my sister in Los Angeles over Christmas and most of the restaurants already had a 6% extra fee on the check for healthcare for employees. WTF?

    Is rice better in Brazil ?

    Brazil has MUCH fresher and better produce (fruits and vegetables) vs. Argentina. I don't know why they are so bad overall here. Rice is excellent in Brazil. You will find a much better food quality in Brazil vs. Argentina. I also think the steaks there are also delicious.

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    Sad to see homeless #s increase. But Milei just increased disability payments so hopefully that helps. If he is going to win in 2027 he will have to probably increase assistance to those that need it the most.

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    Crazy to think the blue dollar went up even though Bessent said he would double the support. Everyone knows a devaluation is probably coming. That is all everyone is saying after the elections. No one knows for sure but I read some investment bank said if the election doesn't go good it could...

    G20 Inflation Tracker: Argentina and Türkiye Remain Inflation Outliers

    Love Istanbul. Last time I went it was very cheap but now I hear it has gotten much more expensive. Something tells me inflation will start going back up after the election. But so will the blue dollar so as long as the blue dollar goes up more that is a plus for me although bad for locals.
