That's pretty funny

Congrats Dave indeed. Sounds like you've cut out a wonderful life for yourself in a very short time.

When I read these comments I feel like many folks on this forum haven't lived in the US in a long time. Private schools are now US$25k to $75k per year per child, health insurance for a family of four is $40 to $50k a year (and you'll still spend another $10k+ on copays). Property taxes and...

"Bessent Signals Willingness to Offer Argentina a Credit Line" https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bessent-signals-willingness-offer-argentina-163056127.html

Truer words were never spoken Mike!

Selfies and penny stocks, good lord. Reminds me of that song "I don't wanna sell my soul, he's already in me. I wanna be adored..."

Very funny! I remember it from an old surfing movie, hilarious group of locals would ride the wind-driven waves on Lake Michigan. They were all missing teeth and sounded more Canadian than anyone I know.

Ha! That remains true Mike. Even with US real estate falling and Argentina rising, you still couldn't buy a new condo in Sheboygan, Wisconsin for what we paid in BA. Construction costs are just so much higher here.

I would dispute that simply because real estate is so cheap in Argentina, and renting is even cheaper than buying. Real estate is usually the biggest component of a family's budget, whether it's rent or mortgage/insurance/taxes for owners. Even if you have no mortgage, property taxes and...

Currencies are mainly about flows in the short to medium term. We all love to debate fundamentals but currencies can remain over or undervalued for years. When news broke that US$28 billion of foreign aid was flowing to Argentina this year alone, it was kind of obvious where the blue dollar...

https://simpleflying.com/7-daily-airlines-boost-buenos-aires-miami-demand-skyrockets/ Interesting to see US airlines rerouting planes to fill the growing demand for Argentina. Looks like AA's Miami-to-BA and Delta's Atlanta-to-BA flights are going to double in peak season. "In addition to...

Prices are coming down in most markets but I'm not sure Trump has anything to do with it. We had 30yr fixed rate 2.5% mortgages for well over a decade and then almost overnight they rose to 7%. It limits what new buyers can afford, what lenders will appraise, etc. Real estate just takes a...

That is fantastic, I guess it's a few years away still but we'll plan on being there!

Looking forward to seeing you there Johnny! Park City is amazing but prices have gone crazy the past few years, Houses in the town center are going for close to $2000/sqft and RE taxes for non-residents are brutal. BA is a far better investment.
