    Milei Hunts for Over $250 Billion That Argentines Have Hidden in Secret Stashes

    I have never seen any storage places anywhere around BA like back home.

    They Charged You $2,350 to Leave. Now They’re Calling It Fair.

    Cry me a river. This isn't barely anything. Only 5,000 people a year. Don't let the door hit you on the way out of the USA. That would be funny if they didn't allow them back to visit the USA.

    Great Airbnb rental in Palermo

    Wow Johnny I just looked at your Airbnb listing and the calendar looks completely full. Have occupancy rates been good all year long? I thought there were less tourists in Buenos Aires these days? Congratulations!

    :LOL::LOL::LOL::ROFLMAO: You read my mind. I was thinking the same thing. @Content Provider you sound like you are much different than online persona. Or at least I hope so.

    Javier Milei’s approval drops as Argentina’s middle class cuts expenses to make ends meet: Poll

    People are getting tired of his antics. This whole mess with Israel is not helping his cause. https://www.ambito.com/politica/la-aprobacion-la-gestion-javier-milei-llego-su-nivel-mas-que-asumio-como-presidente-n6256872

    trump has gone too far

    Most of the world seems to not want to take part in this mess. Maybe they learned from the Iraq "weapons of mass destruction mess". Historically, Argentina has stayed out of major global conflicts. However, under President Javier Milei, the country is suddenly taking an aggressive stance. By...

    If the Argentina peso is truly overvalued

    This is what no one can explain to me either when I ask them how this is sustainable. Imagine prices for us expats that have more money are tough. I can't fathom what it is like making a peso income. Only ones that seem like they are getting big raises are the politicians that voted themselves...

    If the Argentina peso is truly overvalued

    Just don't think a country like Argentina will do too well if this war in Iran drags out.

    Argentina Banks -- Where is Customer Service?

    I have found the locals banks to be deplorable! @Content Provider why not just have it in the same bank that you do all your personal banking? Is there some disadvantage to using the same bank? Thanks.

    Argentines’ debt with digital wallets hits an all-time high as ‘irrecoverable’ loans double in 2025

    Argentina doesn't seem like it has anything to do with normal economics. Doesn't seem like anything works here well. Milei's experiment doesn't seem like it is going well. There is record breaking delinquency at Frávega, Cetrogar, Megatone, and Coppel: up to 70% of customers cannot pay their...

    Food & Drink Beautiful Restaurant with a View of the Water in Costanera - Girabaldi Restaurant

    Just saw a post on X about this place @earlyretirement. I bet prices are a lot higher now vs. 2 years ago! :eek:

    Homelessness is on the rise in Buenos Aires - Up 57% in the last 2 years

    This whole situation is nothing but a delusional libertarian pipe dream! The City is patting itself on the back for evicting some 525+ properties, but give me a break. Some of these places were squatted for 50 years—50! The handful of people they actually managed to kick out is a drop in the...

    Is it worth it to go for Temporary Residency in Argentina or not worth it?

    There is a ton of red tape here. It still seems fairly easy to qualify in Argentina and not much money. This can and probably will change. I waited too long in Mexico and now I don't quality for permanent because the income requirement went up drastically over the past few years. I think in...
