It's a great achievement, there are even memes about it. Caputo knocking out inflation 😂

Perhaps paying close attention to the 2000-peso bills is necessary. I often find that I'm paid mostly with 1000-peso bills; it seems there aren't many 2000-peso bills in circulation. For instance, today I received only 10 bills of 2000 pesos, with the rest all in 1000-peso bills.

You are right! from now on you have to take the time to check every bill, I also go to the cuevas and get my bills there, I never check them...You have to look at every detail now:

Additionally, the...

Outskirts? Probably yes (mine does), but some people treat their pets like babies and will insist they should be kept indoors. And they get upset if you don't. Yes during the day, not so much at night. Same number 2 There's hardly any tango for locals. It's mostly for tourists. No. None at all.

In some countries it has already been banned.

People in Argentina are desperate, literally selling all their biometric data for a few pesos...it's sad really!

Giving a 10% tip is customary for restaurants, cafés, and bars with table service, but nobody will judge you if you leave less. Of course, you can always leave more if you feel inclined to do so.

I'm not sure why moving to the United States for retirement would be a good idea. I'm considering doing the opposite. Argentina is much more affordable to live on U.S. Social Security. Honestly, I don't see many practical benefits in moving to the United States. Your current situation sounds...
