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

    From being in the middle of it for the past three and a half years, including working locally at one point... It's far, far more anti-Milei than it was at this point last year. People are getting fed up and I'm seeing far, far more folks going through the trash container across the street this...

    I think LLA will end up underperforming in GBA and do decently in the bits that aren't super deeply Peronist. We'll probably see another devaluation in that scenario. I could be wrong, but sentiment isn't very favorable to LLA right now

    Everyone's betting against the peso right now with the elections coming up and a high risk of LLA underperforming

    Food & Drink Warning - Do NOT get cheddar from Valenti

    The problem, of course, being when there is no expiration date on the packaging and it's a very heavy plastic so you can't smell through it

    Food & Drink Warning - Do NOT get cheddar from Valenti

    It's very possible. It was also a specialty deli, so there's really no excuse for having poor quality control.

    Food & Drink Warning - Do NOT get cheddar from Valenti

    I went into the Valenti in the Mercado de Belgrano on Saturday because they enticed me with the cheddar on display, since after ~3 years in Argentina and only intermittent respites of real cheddar, I was having a craving for good cheese and I bought 900g of the stuff. A little overboard, but I...

    Church services in English for those of us that can't speak Spanish in Buenos Aires?

    I mean, the Anglican cathedral in Buenos Aires has been having services in English since Juan Manuel de Rosas was president so it's more of a "continuing to do the thing they've always done"

    Church services in English for those of us that can't speak Spanish in Buenos Aires?

    I believe the Anglican cathedral still does a bilingual service. 25 de Mayo 282, CABA

    Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" could tax expats 3.5% - International Living

    A mix of what he was saying and what he tried in his first round as president. I figured the tariffs weren't done yet, and he's always been a bit of an isolationist, so it didn't take much to put two and two together.

    Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" could tax expats 3.5% - International Living

    This time last year when my local friends were asking if I supported Trump, I told them that I couldn't because I didn't want to see Peronismo take root in the US, and I tried explaining that Trump is, at his core, a Peronist. Now we're seeing it play out live.

    Has anyone gotten their account closed in the USA from wiring international wires to Argentina?

    For a transfer from personal to personal, code it as A07 and it should go through. If you have an LLC or S corp, you can invoice the company through a Factura E and then wire it in that way, and it'll settle same-day from my experience.

    Applying for residence from outside of Argentina – I'm married to an Argentine citizen - Need advise please

    My case is slightly different, as the spouse of a Brazilian, which meant that we applied for PR together, but nobody ever asked my wife or I about our economic solvency, or anything financial and it was start to finish, DNI in hand in under 6 months.

    It was one of those times when I was short on time and the car was double-parked. 😂 Otherwise, I'd have tried to get a few more minutes in chatting before heading out.

    Let me know when you're back in BA and I'll buy lunch if you can find the time.
