Very true. Once I moved out of the United States it was easier for me to get out of the habit of buying so much junk I didn't need. When I lived in the US I would buy the latest iPhone each year and tons of junk I didn't need. Once I moved outside it wasn't as easy to buy stuff and then I just...

Hopefully, the process is getting easier. I bumped into a Russian woman the other day with her child at the park. I asked her about her journey and she had very positive things to say. She already had most of her extensive family here. Her husband's family. Her family too. I was amazed at her...
Until I hear of friends staying here having issues or a broader case of expats posting on forums having problems I will continue. People have no idea of just how many people are overstaying here. I have been hearing since President Macri that they were going to get tougher and it never has...

Oh, absolutely! Ignorance is like a luxurious spa day for the brain – no need for inconvenient facts or bothersome knowledge of a Country falling apart. Who wants the burden of understanding the world when you can bask in the warm glow of blissful unawareness?

A handful of expats throwing wishes around is like trying to make a unicorn appear—zero difference, folks! But seriously, it's a bummer that there isn't a ticket to tackle corruption without all the chainsaw antics and a side of dictatorship cheerleading. Talk about wanting the drama without...
So, like, my work gig relies on Argentinians having enough cash to splurge on mobile phone services. Obviously, I'm all about Argentina doing well 'cause, you know, that's where my interests lie. But, we might not see eye to eye on how to make that happen. I'm totally vibing with some concerns...
