    Advice on buying a new car in Buenos Aires?

    Huge thanks @GlasgowJohn for that advice! Yes the dealership filled out a bunch of paperwork and told me I would be ok. It was only my local friend that was filling my head with doubts. I do understand I have to pay an asset tax on the car next year. Ok thanks for putting my mind at ease.

    Newcomer My wife (Argentinian) claims you can live "well" on $1500 a month in Argentina. True?

    This looks like an old thread but so good. Thank you for being so detailed in everything one should add in to their budget. I think having children in BA would add up! Having kids anywhere would add up but in BA I would think just tuition in a nice school would add up!

    Newcomer Tickets for the Independiente vs Racing match on February 25 or General Soccer Game Advice?

    I agree it is all kind of confusing. The first time I went to a soccer match my friend said I would get killed wearing the wrong jersey color! Very confusing so this service would have really helped!

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

    I think possibly some Americans could move back to the USA. Yes many major metro areas are expensive but my sister lives in a rural area of Alabama and I don't think it's too expensive there. There are more and more migrants from all over South America moving to the USA in droves. If they can...

    Any expats own gun in Argentina? Do you want to own a gun or firearm here in our country?

    If someone wants to be around guns just go over to Paraguay! Plenty of guns there.

    Newcomer Airbnb has extremely slow WiFi Internet speed. Any other options?

    I found this website on Twitter. Any suggestions from you fine folks? I rented an Airbnb and I love it except for the painfully slow WiFi. The owner told me before that the internet was "fast". I confirmed with her as I have to work remotely as well. I asked her to do a Speedtest and she...
