    Economy Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    “The boom, in a way, is a facade. Everyone seems to be having a good time. Yet in much of the country, Argentines are barely surviving and hunger is on the rise. And in the more affluent circles, the fever to go out is a symptom of the decline of the middle class that, unable to afford large...

    FX Holiday today & Monday?

    I heard it too on La Nacion+ a short while ago. You can always gauge the informal, unofficial progress/decay on a cryptocurrency exchange site with a USD/ARS pair until/if the official FX returns to trading. (At this moment i'm seeing 443.50 for USDT/ARS)

    Apartment Rental Airbnb property manager

    Hello all, I have an apartment in Palermo that I’m hoping to list on Airbnb. However, I travel quite a bit so I am in need of a property manager who can manage it from checkin to check out and in between. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Travel Flying Out Of Eze April 6Th

    I said to hell with going through the hassle of a 6 April departure from EZE, so I changed my flight to the day before. I'm fortunate that I could change because my ticket is mileage award travel, thus no change fee, etc.

    Economy It's Too Expensive Here!

    Yep. Just part of the cycle of life in argentina. Alternating periods of expensive and cheap. My utility bills went from $800/ month to $6000 thats a hell of a hit.

    Banking transering $ abroad from apt sale

    What if you're living with someone else? Not exactly renting it out, since no income, but either letting someone stay there to housesit or a gf/bf that shares the place with you and likes to watch tv? Does the government need to know about your bedroom life as well?
