Smart doing this early in life as it sets the tone and gets you used to living like this when you are older. Most of my friends all live in the USA. All my family does and some spend more than $4k a month simply on rentals. In BA once you own a place you don't have to worry about frustrations of moving around or finding a rental and expenses aren't high in USD terms. My local expat friends vary on how much they spend on rentals. Most of them are around $1,600 USD a month but they all live in Palermo, Belgrano or Recoleta and have a decent sized place.Likewise I live on the lean/modest side. Biggest expense would be location, and as long as things work, size nor newest things need not apply. I'm comfortable using a hammock or one of those roll up mattresses or hell even my couch. Did it for years, despite making ok money. Casual, local restaurants are my go to, and with youtube never been easier to learn how to cook.
I have trouble spending $4k here in the US and that was when I was making regular outings to the strip clubs and for those spending that in BA more power to yall.
My friends visiting me take multiple Ubers but once they move here they walk more. People say how cheap Ubers are but they really do add up if you take them many times per day. Nothing you can do if you have mobility issues with legs/knees.
