Poverty has no limit in Argentina

But it just feels so cold to talk about numbers when the minimum pension here is 300,000 ARS. Can you believe that? Who could live on that salary?

Is that per month because I live on less than that per month lol and not because I'm trying to be frugal I guess I just naturally don't spend money, my favourite food is fried rice with ground beef and redbeans with a lot of seasonings also. I can and have live off that only for months at a time and enjoy it

Do you really live on that little? How? Can you breakdown your spending? That seems to be impossible. How much are you spending each month @BarryBloomWwf ?

I imagine he is only referring to food, because a minimum rent in CABA depends on the number of rooms, but it usually starts at 500,000 ARS or more. Not to mention that retirees here earn 300,000 per month, and they’re the most affected group. As others said above, it feels very cold to talk about percentages, numbers, and statistics when there are people who have to survive, if you can even call it that, on such a miserable pension.
