    Does it still make sense to retire in Buenos Aires on fixed income?

    The Central Bank approved the issuance of $10,000 and $20,000 bills for June

    I can't wait! With the way inflation is going they better plan a 100,000 note too. I heard they were working on 50,000 note too.

    Newcomer Lisbon Vs Buenos Aires

    Lisbon is a great city;very polite population. I could not handle a third language and the hills. Madrid and Barcelona fine cities also, but the deal in Spain is Valencia. Third largest city in Spain and way cheaper than Madrid or Barcelona. Also on the water.
