    Taxes CABA eliminated the tax on credit cards

    I started the thread to share the information. I haven't had a credit card in decades. If I don't have the money, I can't spend it. I've been trying without success to convince the consorcio administrators to open a free account at Banco Ciudad. The current liquidation indicates an expense of...

    Newcomer Recommendations on Moving Companies (LA -> BA)?

    I've relocated internationally four times in the past, but it was always covered by the companies I worked for, and I was never aware of the associated costs. Just out of curiosity, has anyone here moved a modest household, including items like clothes, dishes, and a small amount of furniture...

    Newcomer Lisbon Vs Buenos Aires

    I was going to chime in the same. We're flying into Valencia in a couple weeks to check it out since it's been years since last in the region. We like 2nd/3rd cities...that's how we chose Cordoba rather than BsAs. We're returning from Barcelona, of course. Can't miss the chance to spend a few...

    Politics HUGE Protest Tonight 7 PM! Corrientes/Pueyrredon & Santa Fe/Callao.

    Sometimes at the start of a movement a protest can be a message in itself. Last night felt like the idea of a leaking tap that drips and drips. It bothers you but not too much until the whole thing after neglect spurts out and you need a plumber. To me Cristina ignored the various issues...

    Legal Lawyer in Argentna for immigration to USA?

    Certainly, there are attorneys in Buenos Aires specializing in this field. I connected with one last year, but unfortunately, I can't find his contact information now. Some lawyers may split their time between the U.S. and Argentina. While there are many immigration lawyers in Miami, New York...

    Real Estate Sales Explain It To Me: Pesification and Real Estate Prices

    Nothing prevents them from demanding dollars or coconuts. If they were to publish in pesos,the price would be outdated by the time the add is printed. This is not a new practice, it is common for most foreign products. Only the dollars are slightly harder to come by. Prices will "drop" in the...

    Economy Economic Storm Clouds Brewing for Argentina?

    In twenty years I have never seen anything like the current situation. It is obvious to me that the status quo can not be sustained forever. Cristina may be able to buy time but eventually (2-3 years?) inflation will be so out of control that a massive devaluation will have to occur. Property...
