I doubt your friend is going to be getting a check cashed anytime soon. Read this in La Nacion today. Sounds like they have been floating bounced checks for a while now...

Probably why the Milei's are taking as much as they can now before they head out.

I saw these mortgage numbers online. I guess it just shows the boom and bust cycles in Argentina. # of Individual Mortgage loans in Argentina 2004: 25,461 2005: 32,202 2006: 39,932 2007: 46,305 2008: 42,017 2009: 13,912 2010: 20,758 2011: 29,338 2012: 21,775 2013: 12,338 2014...

This is what I wonder. How do you see things @GlasgowJohn? Do you think Milei will last long term? Salaries don't seem like they are keeping up for many. Not saying things would be better with Massa but is this plan sustainable for the next 2 years? A Cappuccino in Rome next to the Colosseum...

Agree! Price doesn't seem bad at all. My parents stayed at the Four Seasons and even a small room was more than this. Looks like a great option if you're traveling with a group. Good work. Stunning!

I don't want to hijack this thread but anyone have any recent experiences (after the change in law of May 2025) on civil unions? I posted this thread too. https://www.expatsba.com/threads/anyone-have-any-recent-experiences-on-civil-union-not-marriage-to-temporary-residency-in-argentina.6839/

I’m about to register a unión convivencial and apply for temporary residency with my Argentine partner. I’m specifically looking for recent (late 2025–2026 after the change in law), first-hand experiences from people who have actually completed — or are currently going through — this process...

For tests, consultations and good and reliable information about STDs I'd recommend the Centro de Estudios Infectologicos Stamboulian. They have their own lab there.

I am not sure if you will see open hostility but there is definitely a lot of closet hate for people that are from different countries. I noticed blacks, muslims, Indians. You can see a recent post on X. Read some of the comments from the locals. That's the kind of hate that I'm talking...

I got warned my last trip to Colonia because I have already paid to overstay twice. I attempted to come back over last weekend and they didn't let me come through. They said I need to wait 6 months before I can come back. Does anyone know a good immigration attorney that I can call that can...

That is what I noticed. The prices are mostly the same prices as the US and many things it's more. But everyone I know makes a pittance of what salaries are in the first world. @Jakoval how do you cope with that? Do you have a remote job?

More than enough if you're single.

Thank you Johnny! That really helps to see actual bills. Wow that is a big increase for less than one year! Still seems reasonable. Thank you for posting that electricity bill! Actually not bad at all.

Are the condo fees still going up in Buenos Aires? What about utility bills?

Ouch not a fun way to start your vacation.
