    Did many expats move out of Buenos Aires due to the higher cost of living?

    Are people still cutting back on asados? I heard they were from friends there.

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

    One thing is clear @earlyretirement if there really is a story in the Argentina media about an American that gets deported from Argentina because he openly bragged on your website about cheating on how low he declared on his house purchase and then bragged about how he cheats on his American...

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

    I haven't even been to Buenos Aires yet. 3 cancelled flights. I am in Spain but I still hope to make it to Buenos Aires this year. I still love to check on posts on this website. Very helpful. I love to read posts and I feel like everyone has their own personality on this site. Much like a...

    My friend in Argentina has a Spanish passport so she uses that. I don’t know how it works. I use Wise and it’s great!

    Argentina Rentista Visa for 2024? What is the minimum income now for retirement visa for Argentina?

    You don’t have to explain anything. My parents would get annoyed no one understood their relationship. Who cares? And my mom’s sister got married and divorced and then married the same guy! If she is going to make a move probably now before she starts school in the US is the easiest time!

    Argentina Rentista Visa for 2024? What is the minimum income now for retirement visa for Argentina?

    My parents were the same way for many years. They didn’t bother to get a divorce until mom needed to get remarried. Tough situation. Is the daughter open to moving? How old is she? This is like a soap opera. Keep us posted how it goes Tuesday!

    Argentina Rentista Visa for 2024? What is the minimum income now for retirement visa for Argentina?

    But is this just you or is this the norm that everyone has to do? Hard to tell from your post if this is something special that they are making you do or everyone has to do this?

    Banking Credit Card real-world rate "MEP" transaction repo (Dec2023)

    I doubt this is true that only a few people are declaring 100%. I met a few people that bought in Argentina. There are some Americans here that own in BA. I was surprised with how many foreigners own in BA. They said they did all in white on the up and up. Also aren't mortgages now a good...

    Pampa Energía: US$1.6 Billion Investment in Vaca Muerta (2025-2026)

    It seems like there is a lot of progress there. A few Argentines I know in Malaga are moving back to BA! They said the first time in their life they feel like hope for Argentina. I was surprised. I thought still tons of problems there?

    Medical The best deep tissue and therapeutic massages - Estetica.jyn (Palermo)

    Looks like a massage for an hour went up 5,000 pesos or 20% in just a few months since you were here in January. 20% is not too much??? 30,000 pesos is $26 bucks an hour. That actually doesn't too cheap to me for a piss poor country like Argentina.

    Does Buenos Aires have blackouts besides the summer? We had major black outs here in Spain this week. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

    Did many expats move out of Buenos Aires due to the higher cost of living?

    Prices everywhere aren't getting any cheaper. I just see the prices of everything going up in the US. That is why I wanted to live abroad. I have a remote job but if anything ever happened with that I admit I would be screwed. I have been dating a few expats here in Spain and I have figured...
