I recently went to Pani in Recoleta, and I highly recommend it. The breakfast is very American-style, just how I like it. They have many options, the service is impeccable, and the prices are reasonable. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xSKStUZQmyRVQUKK8

Meanwhile, there’s no money for the elderly in this country... https://www.politicargentina.com/notas/202409/60966-para-los-jubilados-no-hay-plata-para-el-asado-si-milei-recibe-con-una-cena-en-olivos-a-los-87-legisladores-que-respaldaron-su-veto.html

I went to this store to repair my iPhone, and it went really well. They’re very professional. I know that, besides selling new iPhones, they also sell refurbished ones with a warranty. That might be a good option if you need one urgently right now. To give you an idea, an iPhone 11 with 64 GB...

Here, Villaruel recommends "El Cuartito" after presenting the 2025 budget; he stopped by there. 😁 https://maps.app.goo.gl/6kxMYqSS4xwEmfqMA

In Argentina, there are approximately 7 million retirees, which includes both retirees and pensioners who receive benefits from the country's social security system.

It's a bit less. Here’s the clear explanation so you can understand it: The new pension mobility bill maintains the inflation adjustment scheme approved through an Executive Order (DNU) signed by President Javier Milei, but it adds an extra 8.1% increase to April’s pensions (the government had...

Well, the terms and conditions don’t specify that you need an Argentine DNI to access the benefits, so I think it's available to everyone residing here.

The drop in inflation isn’t just a number; it’s expected to boost consumption, at least according to theory. However, it’s also true that wages have lagged behind inflation. We’ll see what happens in a few months...

Hi everyone! Starting this Monday, August 26, and running through September 1, the Travel Sale event will be happening. It includes deals, interest-free payment plans, and discounts of up to 50% on flights, hotels, transfers, packages, and excursions, not just within the country but also for...

This seems to happen quite often and can be pretty random. I suggest trying different cards or making the purchase at different times. I had success using an Amex card after both my Visa and Mastercard were declined.

A friend came to visit, and I warned him about this type of theft. Mainly, you shouldn’t take a stranger to a hotel or apartment. Here’s a list of the most wanted in Argentina...

On top of the economic downturn, more Argentinians are struggling to make ends meet. Inflation is outpacing the small wage increases, so many people are switching to cheaper brands. Some are in an even worse spot and just can’t cover their expenses. The middle class is definitely the hardest...
