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

    No alternative. Most will give him a chance that voted for him before to see what can be done during his term. Things were in terrible condition when he took over. At least inflation has gone down with him. Time will tell.

    Trump Has a Good Reason to Bail Out Argentina

    Most likely with these elections in Argentina there will always be some level of fraud going on by both all parties. Not sure I would ever say they can get rid of it completely.

    Western Union

    Anyone know when WU updates their rates. I sent myself a payment today and still only got 1421.

    Real Estate News HOA Fees Debt: What Happens If They Aren’t Paid and How to Prevent a Lawsuit - La Nacion Propiedades

    I doubt this is true that much can be done easily. At least without it taking many years. I have a few people in my building that haven't paid their expensas in 3 years. Besides adding on interest there is no hope of them collecting. My husband said he has never seen an apartment forced to...

    Gerardo Werthein presented his resignation as Foreign Minister to Milei 4 days before the election

    Exactly this. People don't want to go back to what it was like before. Argentines love to complain (I am married to one) but when it all comes down to it, many are better off than before.

    We know wines from Argentina can be great, but will they age?

    Agree about Alamos. My better half thinks that is the best quality for the money. I will have to try Animal. Is that the brand name @jbeas176?

    Trump says Argentina assistance dependent on election results for ally Milei

    Trump said it best about Argentina. “Argentina is fighting for its life. Nothing is benefiting them. Do you understand what it means? They have no money, they have nothing, they are fighting hard to survive, they are dying," said the US president aboard the Air Force One...

    Why Argentina's Economy Keeps COLLAPSING Again and Again

    He might be a socialist but I listened to the entire video and it seemed to be accurate to me. Whatever persona views he has on socialism it seems like it didn't cloud his assessment on summarizing what is happening and why Milei is failing.

    Five must-see Buenos Aires buildings beyond the tourist circuit

    Beautiful buildings. So many great properties and architecture here.

    Follow the "Golden Rule" on ExpatsBA - Be polite, courteous or don't post on this forum

    Well and even if you find an English speaking lawyer it doesn't mean they won't scam you either. Read this article and this lawyer. Crazy. https://www.expatsba.com/threads/this-couple-was-scammed-into-paying-nearly-30-000-for-lunch-in-buenos-aires.6107/

    This couple was scammed into paying nearly $30,000 for lunch in Buenos Aires

    But honestly how did they find this lawyer? Jeeze. I wish I could say I was surprised but sounds like the typical day in Argentina with how the lawyer acted. I never heard of a restaurant trying to charge this much and this seems like common sense that the credit card would know it was fraud...

    Very high electricity bill all of a sudden?

    Has anyone else noticed high utility bills? My electricity bill has jumped up. It is for 2 months worth of usage but I was shocked to see it was 625,000 pesos which is over $450 dollars! I have never had a bill this high before. My apartment is a 3 bedroom apartment that is about 150 m2. Did...
