Argentina's economy seems as phony as a $3 bill. I thought Milei was making progress but it doesn't seem like they are making much headway with the net reserves. Just too much debt to pay off. I read some of BuySellBA's posts on X the past few months and it is all playing out as they said it...

That is totally bonkers trying to make someone stay in Argentina continuously for 2 years. What genius thought of that? People constantly have the need to leave the country. Doesn't seem to make sense to me.

Wow it sounds like much more corporate travel to BA.

That is a good idea of the flashcards and moving one room at a time under you master everything. I'm going to try that!

Damn how do the locals cope with this constant inflation? I can't imagine if my condo fees jumped up 55% a year. Crazy.

Looks like it will be a rocky ride up until the October elections. Hard to tell if they will do well or not. Lots of people I talk to sound like they are frustrated but doesn't seem to be much alternative choice.

I just saw that website! OMG. Is that real? Who would purposely create a website like that?? I don't think you could even try to make such an ancient site even if you tried back in the 1990's! There are almost free Wordpress sites you can make now with hosting plans. It screams that he...

Totally agree. I would get frustrated with Google Maps as sometimes the restaurants said permanently closed and it was open and sometimes it said it was open and it was closed. Never been to a country that had such terrible customer service and no one has websites. I saw a lot of companies...

Anyone surviving Argentina so long obviously is doing something right! Seems like most of the companies go out of business fairly quickly! No common sense pricing there. I saw stuff priced higher than anywhere in the world and the costs must be cheap in BA as real estate is so cheap there...

Wow! I guess a season pass would make sense if you ski a lot but then again not sure I would want to take kids a few times a year for expensive food and drinks. I heard one or two players were buying up all the resorts so they can price however they want as they own everything. Is that true?

Wow crazy! And are they moving @CraigM? Did you see any properties or just see them in the store window? I think it is fun window shopping when I'm in Europe as they have signs in the windows like the real estate offices in Buenos Aires all over. I wonder how often those properties move in...

Not sure I agree with this statement. Milei's poll numbers seem ok to me. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-08/milei-approval-rating-holds-as-argentines-worry-more-about-jobs https://archive.ph/16Hv2

I just did a Zoom consultation not long ago with @BuySellBA and the owner Mike told me he recently bought a very old PH that had a big mistake on the original deed. It sounded about this size you are talking about. Apparently the PH was over 110 years old and some how they missed all of these...

I read the statistics. Great signs. But from what I understand almost the entire country is in the black market. How are people qualifying for these mortgages if much of their salary is under the table? Or are more and more jobs now declaring income? Probably jobs like doctors and lawyers and...

That is insane! Sounds like the government is trying to go back to the crazy times of 1:1 which was not realistic. This exchange rate seems totally made up! My friend sent me a receipt the other day at a restaurant and it is more than I would spend in the States! Crazy.
