One thing is for sure. More people around the world are talking about Milei and not for good reasons. My friend from Germany sent me this.

This looks fairly accurate @FuturoBA based on what I am seeing. I saw the other thread from another expat asking if $2,500 usd was enough and I think that would be enough as long as dining out wasn't too often. Wildcard factors are health insurance as older folks are going to be more expensive...

What an origin story. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Posts like yours are far more fun than reading how Milei has doomed the country. Now that we got you here what is your opinion of Milei? :ROFLMAO: It would be interesting to hear from you since it sounds like you have been in...

You read my mind! I was thinking the same thing. Beautiful woman. I are going to get an old guy like me going to that Honda dealership just to look for the two beautiful women. Probably will end up buying a motorcycle I do not need! :ROFLMAO: Veronica is also cute. I see your plan. To get...

Argentina Missed Early Window to Sell Bonds, Investors Say Ambitious goals from Argentina's government to bring down country risk are at odds with reality and may have caused it to miss a window to return to debt markets, investors say. Javier Milei’s administration passed on a chance to issue...

That was my first reaction too. An accountant told me about this tax and I was in disbelief. Just like you @bapal I started digging and saw how much money it brings in each year. It is in the top 4 revenue generators for Argentina. Right behind the IVA, income tax and social security...

Would this really be Argentina if the commies didn't try to halt this? Seems like they are off to a good start. https://www.freiheit.org/argentina-brazil-paraguay-and-uruguay/mileis-reform-agenda-strong-start-2026

I didn't even know there was another website.

If they can get more and more Argentines to deposit some of that cash it would be a boon for the economy. The banks will probably fight to loan that cash out and get it working. But it would NOT be good if there was another Corralito 2.0. I think probably too early for people to trust their...

Well they will still be around. Companies file bankruptcy all the time. From speaking to people in BA it sounds like this is just a Concurso Preventivo Filing Business as Usual: The filing is a restructuring tool, not a liquidation. The company intends to maintain normal operations, keep its...

Sounds like they just take the total tuition and divide it over a certain number of months. Did the same thing in the USA with my kids when paying private school bills.

Excellent restaurant! I have visited both for lunch and dinner and it is always crowded. Seems like an affluent crowd that has been eating here for decades. Very high quality food but you will pay for it.

Many want change and that is why and how Milei won. Like you said Wally it will be tough. Many good and necessary changes are being made. I haven't been in Argentina long but I have heard a few people say this. You can't take the Argentines out of Argentina and that is the problem. Even with...

That is what I noticed. It doesn't make sense to eat a mediocre bar food type place because they have inflated the prices so much that I don't see too much difference between a more quality place or a dive. That receipt is a good example of it. Seeing all of these receipts over the years is...

When you measure wages against ACTUAL inflation, it’s so much worse In the past 25 years, the average purchasing power of the average American's wages have fallen by 50%, on a per-capita basis Your wages, even though they may increase in nominal terms, are losing about 7% per year on a CAGR-basis
