Has Argentina become a better place to move as a retiree under Milei or worse? Should I move?

I have been reading all the posts and it is interesting to read some of the posts. From reading news from the United States you would think Milei is a miracle worker with so many improvements but on this expat forum I hear people complaining all the time how expensive it has become. Are things improving there as an expat? Do you all notice anything improving?

Most issues won't affect us like employee issues as most of us will never have a company there. It seems like many of you are on fixed USD savings and the cost has gone up with Milei.

I’m hoping to get some on-the-ground perspectives about what life is actually like in Buenos Aires right now, especially with all the recent economic shifts. Like genuinely. Are things as bad as some of you say?

How have Milei’s policies impacted the day-to-day livability for expats or retirees coming from abroad on a fixed income? Has the situation gotten better, worse, or just different? I’ve also been reading some rumblings that applying for a retirement visa has become much more difficult lately, and I’m wondering if that’s going to make things tough for newcomers going forward.

I recently retired and will have my SS payments. I'm going to travel around to a few different countries and see which is the best. I have visited BA before many times but it was much cheaper then.

Do people think prices will keep going up? I read some old posts but I just wanted to ask some of you on the ground. Will $2,500 dollars per month be enough for me?

Things speaking from an expat have just gotten worse under Milei. A few things are easier to get or order or electronics are cheaper but most of us wait to buy these things when we go to the USA. Exchange rate is not realistic and prices have gone up 4X for many things.

I personally don't think Milei will win again by the time the next election comes around but I could be wrong.
