Live in Buenos Aires Argentina on $1500 | Buenos Aires Cost of Living | Buenos Aires Expat Life 

This winter is disaster. I hope next year will be something like year ago

@@markrush2319 where do you live now?

@adventurefreaksss right now I am back in Chicago. I first went to Buenos Aires in 2005. I own property and a house in Mar Del Plata, where I plan on retiring one day.

@@markrush2319 Please send me an email @ adventurefreaksss@gmail.com. I'd like to ask you some questions about Mar Del Plata if you wouldn't mind. Thanks much!

Thank you for this addition!

No hay ciudad perfecta . Mi única crítica es que puedas entrar sin drama y nosotros no podamos ir a Malvinas . Te casaste con una Argentina o de otro país?

Thank you!

@@ricardogiampieri1408 thank you!!

That is certainly possible. Very voolatile in Argentina right now.

I don't think that's quite right, and it might be based on some incorrect assumptions. There's a peculiar economic situation in Argentina caused by inflation and currency controls. The government has to gradually cut inflation and relax currency controls. The previous government created a situation where large Argentine businesses and wealthy individuals can't trust the banks or the currency, so their only real liquid option is Argentine stocks. The Argentine stock index, Merval, is up approximately 73% in USD year-to-date, but currency inflation over the past year is 263%. The Merval is up over 3,700% over the past five years. Essentially, a strong peso could crash their stock market. The price increases relative to other countries are most likely due to the government undoing subsidies from the previous administration, which is causing a sort of balancing effect. In short, Argentina's cost of living was artificially kept down by government policy, and now it is rebounding to levels closer to those of other similarly sized Latin American cities.

@@crypticnomad thanks for this information! Well said!!

@@TheXantra very good point

Thank you for viewing!

Nadie lo obligó a quedarse, se puede ir cuando guste .

Thank you for this additional information!!

Relativamente cierto lo que comentas, porque la crisis econòmica no afecta a la mitad de la poblaciòn que tiene poder adquisitivo o se maneja en dòlares. Para esa gente hasta es conveniente manejarse en inflaciòn porque los precios estàn bastante atados a la suba del dòlar.

@@fabiangonzallezcapo6060 Gracias Fabian!!

Thank you! Paul is a great guy!!

I used ear buds and they cleaned the sound up crisply. The problem as I see it is that very often on podcasts both the host and the guest are speaking from their homes and in a room with poor acoustics and not in a dedicated studio or sound absorbing room.

Thanks for your input and thank you for viewing!!

Why would you need to open a bank account there? You can just wire money to Western Union from your foreign-based bank account each month. Banking plan aside, the current uncertainty with their economy is enough to hold back from making any long term commitments to living in Argentina.

Thank you for this information. What area is considered the mouth?

@@adventurefreaksss 🗽🗽🗽🗽

@@adventurefreaksss me olvidé, hay 1000 barrios o mini ciudades en argentina, se llama barrios privados, puedes vivir ahí más tranquilo un ejemplo es un barrio privado... Nordelta hay mansiones de lujo al estilo berbely hill Hollywood

@@adventurefreaksss también argentina es el país más seguro de Latinoamérica. Hoy incluso más seguro q algunos países europeos y ciudades norteaméricanas . Búscalo en Google saludos

@@adventurefreaksss la boca a mi consideración es peligroso, y nada moderno...

Are you saying rentals start at $470 per month in Buenos Aires?

@@thenewobserver1812 Wow, what part of Buenos Aires is that living in? Thank you!

@@adventurefreaksss enjoy talking about Rosario mendoza not specially b. a.

@@ildeac73 thank you Ilka!

@@KB3TLE yes. You have many options. Check out morenof our videos!!

It’s one of the safest big cities in Latin America, for sure. Still lots of petty crime like pick pockets, but not a lot of violent crime comparatively

That’s not what’s driving the prices up, this is a major misconception.

Remember, we all have different experiences and our perceptions can vary based on these experiences. Thank you for viewing!

@@adventurefreaksss exactly! That's why I say that it is a mistake to say "it is a dangerous city at night" because the city is not uniform.

@@nothinger01 Oh I misunderstood. you're saying that Paul said that? I do not recall him saying that as it's been a while since we did the podcast however Paul truly loves BA and was most likely noting that like all cities, there are areas to avoid at night.

@@adventurefreaksss at 20:44 he said that it is a dangerous city, he probably meant that La Boca and San Telmo are dangerous neighborhoods that should be avoided at night.

​@@nothinger01 Thanks for the clarification! Are you living in BA currently!

Thanks for the info. Where do you currently live?
