Living in Argentina 🇦🇷 The cost of living 

As an Argentinian,I recommend going to live in Mar De Plata,or Buenos Aires which is where my house is, both of these places are amazing and I assure you,you will not regret visiting especially as Mar Del Plata has quite a bit of food as it is where most of the tourists go!If you ever go to Argentina I hope you have a good time!

one month in and I think I've found my forever home. earning in usd and living in Buenos Aires is honestly perfect for me. I've started Spanish classes and met amazing people. minus having to bring my clothes to get washed I don't really miss the Usa or my previous home England. as always love your videos, if you are ever in BA hit me up.

I have always been interested in moving or to the very least visit Argentina. I cannot express how much I appreciate your videos.

Extremely thorough, straight to the point, organised list video. one million out of 10 stars. Liked and commented.

great video...informative and to the point

Que buen acento! Buen video. Yo vivo hace 4 años en USA, me vine por estudios pero ya con conocimientos me vuelvo en Diciembre con laburo de aca.

Very clear and precise video

That is my city!!! I used to live in el barrio La Florida. But I moved to US 23 years ago, I miss my country.

Wow this is amazing I hear good things and not so good about Argentina 🇦🇷 this something to think about

Glad I was subscriber #500. I'm enjoying your content. I will be in MDP in November but just for a weekend so I'll go wherever my girlfriend who lives there takes me. Good luck with your RU-vid channel.

Thanks for a great video.

bless you with good health and peace Argentina is beautiful

Sito this was a great video. My jaw was on the floor when I heard that electricity, gas and water bills 💀 Congrats on hitting 500+ subs for just a beginner your videos are very well made. Keep it up 🙏

Thank you young man, my wife and i are getting ready to retire in less than 2 years. We will be moving to Argentina but not yet picked to city to live in so your video has been very helpful.

here in argentina now. been in buenos aires for 4 days and going to panara today. mendoza after that. cheap to live here based on your video. thanks!!!!

I just went to Mar Del Plata for a short break from BA. It was cold and wet, but I was really impressed by the malecon and how pedestrian friendly the city was. As a tourist I don't think it is easy to find deals like that on rent unfortunately. Hopefully I will be back sometime in warmer weather.

I was running a hostel in ushuaia Argentina in 2002/2010 and even back then when there was no inflation I remember the gas bill was only 15$ to 30$ a month. Basically free if you consider my heaters were on 24 HS a day as that area of the cointry is always cold. Also I think the island of tierra del fuego was full of gas.

Hi, I'm from Córdoba Argentina and I've been working for several years in IT for companies in the USA and Europe, currently my life costs around USD 2000 per month, but it's a good life.

Cool video, bro. People always wanna know costs

@Artem Ostretsov; Mar del Plata is a very unique and charming place to vacation, visit or to go live in. However, internationally it is virtually unknown and way under exposed; so I think it's great that our boy is showing the world what it's like to live in Mar del Plata. To Argentinians it is its biggest ocean faring beach and harbor city and most popular summer vacation place, but because its beaches are not tropical and it does not have a whole lot of intense old architectural drama as a city other than its pretty coastline, travel agencies are shy about promoting it much. They are completely wrong. Mar del Plata's unique characteristics are all about it's human scale urban fabric and casual day to day life style. It's busy, packing nearly 700.000 people, and yet it's also got a small town relaxed feeling about it, you can literally walk everywhere and it's got everything, good quality or affordable, plus lovely geography all around it.

i will be coming there hope to see you there bro :)

Appreciate the video bro

Thanks for the information Argentina is my dream country i can't wait to move there

Some years ago, I taught ESL and Lived in BA for about eight years. I would definitely like to move back to teach ESL, open another school, this time in Mar Del. Need some advice. I am NOW a subscriber.

Wow, $300 per month to live comfortably? Here in California, I need $300 a day to live comfortably. Lol

My jaw fell to the floor with those prices. Damn. Imagine earning in US dollars working remotely for a NYC or SF based company. You'd go mad with cash.

Wow!!! I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years. I purchased a home in Mar Del Plata Argentina. In 2009 I purchased the land and built a house for about 40,000 dollars US. The house is about 4 blocks from ocean. Argentina is awesome for my lifestyle I need about 1500 to 2000 dollars US per month. But this is a very comfortable lifestyle you would need at least 5,000 dollars a month to live a lifestyle like this in any American ubran areas and a lot more in somewhere like New York, Chicago or Los Angeles.

Muyyy barato. Really fact-packed video. Loco.

Keep it up man

I Like this video

Thank you for the information.

wow this seems cheaper and better quality than the ones I had in plan to move worth checking out rentista visa

great content bro. $1500 usd every month available to spend puts you in the upper middle class. do a video showcasing some house rentals available for $500-1000 usd. It will give people an expanded view on what is available and i am sure owners who have homes for rent would not mind letting you film a few of their homes for youtube.

Wow the prices are really low compared with Mexico. For 130 US dollars is really hard to find an apparent here, maybe just a room with shared bathroom. Also, food is getting pricey as well. I can work from wherever, thank you for your videos, I'm really considering to moved two or three month's next spring.

You do realize that now you gotta show us the finished mural the guy was painting with the black sealions... right? :-)

Subscribed and really enjoyed watching all your videos very inspiring, Would love to see a video and hear your thoughts about what you do for living like online work? or on a extended holiday of savings I am planning to move to Argentina soon! how difficult is it for expats to get a short term contract for a apartment? Thanks!

i am trying to decide where to spend my winters,, Argentina or Colombia,, money is not a issue but i would rather to pay top dollar for everything lol,,also i am in a electric wheelchair so that is a big factor,, i did spend 3 weeks in bogota last may and loved it

I love Argentina! Especially Mar del Plata. I was there for ~6 months a little over a decade ago. Maybe you could do a video about the bus system? Tips & tricks.

Rent is pretty cheap! I wanna move to Mar de Plata now, I pay $450 for a two bedroom apartment here in El Salvador, I mean i guess is not that bad, however eating out or just going out is expensive. You should come over bro, we will take you surfing on one of the best surfing beach in Latin America. El Tunco baby!

New viewer here. Great video Sito! Did you buy private health care there? Have you had experience with a doctor and a dentist? What are your thoughts on the quality of the health care? Thanks!

Would be so kind as to make an updated version of this video for end of 2022 (Nov-Dec), or at least go over what the current blue rate is? According to the menu prices I see on Google, a basic burger dinner out costs over $40usd while the blue rate is around $20....this is similar to US pricing so something isn't right.

Thanks for doing this video. Do you have medical insurance or would you just pay cash? What about getting medicine and it’s cost? Are they mostly over the counter or do you need prescriptions? I am guessing that clothing and furniture is less expensive than Western Europe and North America. My guess is electronics are more expensive. Do you have any tips for the best time of year or cost effective ways to travel internationally. Thanks again this is awesome. Mar del Plata seems to have very little exposure so much appreciated.

great vids my man! appreciate the insight! did you get your sim card at the airport when you first got there? I'm traveling to BA in a week or 2 woo hoo

Thanks for sharing that video I was wondering if you can bring your own vehicle from the United States I also was wondering if you can get your social security there

Do you go to Montevideo every now and then and draw out dollars from their ATM's and then change the dollars to pesos on the blue market?

Great video bro 👍🏻

I have been in Buenos Aires for the past month and I am finding it about half the cost of Canada for everything - the exchange rate is awesome. Now it should be noted that I am staying in the very best and most expensive part of the city so it is even more of a bargain! Next month I am headed to Mendoza for a month and I fully expect it to be 20-30% cheaper than BA. Can't wait. Just a tip - at the end of 2022 the government instructed banks to give foreign Visa/MC debit and credit card holders almost as good a rate as the Blue Dollar from ATMs, which is awesome. So even though it costs me around $6 per withdrawal and I can only take out $100 at a time I use the atm because it is safer than carrying a lot of cash plus if you carry a lot of cash for a month in pesos it will have lost 10% of its value by the end of the month. So I just take out what I need for the week and then the next week I get a better exchange rate.

Can you make a video on exchanging currency? And getting the highest rate for the American dollar? That’s the only way moving there would be worth it. Great Content by the way!

Incredible ! We are looking for a retirement city and BA certainly seems awesome. Any cons ? Thx

I want to retire to Argentina, great video. Can I keep in touch with you for questions?

I'm considering expatriating to Argentina from the US and working remotely. Reliable and high speed internet will be an absolute necessity. You have good internet speeds in Mar Del Plata from the sound of it, but how is the reliability? From the looks of it, it will be 2024 before Starlink is available in Argentina at the soonest. Thanks

VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJ0 🇦🇷😭 VIVA MILEI PRESIDENTE 2023😭🫂🇦🇷

Wow $135/month for rent? That’s wild! I was paying about $300-$350 for a studio apartment in Rosario about 10 years ago.

We are an American family with two you kids and we know very little Spanish. Do you think Argentina would be a good move for us? Thoughts on moving to BA vs further south/rural given our situation?

hey Sito, where did you find your place to rent? I''m looking for a cheap place like that in Mar del Plata from Jan or Feb 2024. Would love to hear any suggestions... Thanks!!

Making me want to go back to my country 🫠

I mean I’m only moving there to get rich in mine meteorites but everything in this video is a plus as well

Estoy considerando ir para ver si me retiro y tal vez me quede por allá, con $1800 viviré como un rey!

Very interesting video. Have you met any retirees from North America or elsewhere in Argentina? If so, how are they managing?

an you run a PS4 at home on the internet without lag?? Great video

sweet

Hi Sito I truly enjoyed your content I would like to teach English in Argentina next year I'm planning to move there with my two sons,how do I go about getting hired as a English teacher

Hey bro, what website do you recommend that list apartments for rent in Argentina? Thanks

Thanks for the video! I'm Canadian and I'm thinking of moving to Mendoza (though after watching your video I'm thinking about Mar del Plata too). I'm 65 and retired. I'm assuming I have to get rid of pretty much everything I own before I move because shipping stuff down would cost a ton. So one concern is the cost of things like furniture and household goods. I assume they're relatively cheap too. The rent you're paying in Mar del Plata is waaay cheaper than the rent I've been able to find in Mendoza - do the cities in Argentina really vary that much?

Any advice on where to look in order to rent an apartment in Buenos Aires

Foreigners need to keep in mind that to rent an apartment in Argentina you must have a “guarantee” from someone that is Argentine to get the market rate on rent. Without that, you’ll have to pay for a short-term rental that will be up 5 times or more of what the market rate for locals is.

🤟

Hello thank you I love the content 😊 How safe is it for a single woman? TIA

Did you move your belongings/furniture down to Argentina? If so, how? THAT would be a great video to make!!

What parts of Argentina are considered the safest and what areas to avoid due to higher crime?

Pregunta: cuanto vale un seguro de salud? Gracias

Are spanish class free at the public universities for foreigners? How is the fresh produce in Argentina? Love the mustache!

Amazing! I am binge watching all your videos now as I plan a move to Argentina in Oct or Nov this year. How did you find your place to rent? Did you book airbnb and get your boots on the ground first before finding an area/place you liked for long term? Are you working while there or just living?

Please make a video about monthly income

How about living in Bariloche and Patagonia in general?

Can you provide websites please 🙏 for rentals

Can we connect? About to make a move. Was scheduled to go to Guatemala but now thinking Argentia is the move?

Nice video and i thoroughly enjoyed watching. i am a senior citizen and having passive monthly income of pension and investments and wish to know, if Argentina has got retirement residence visa. please let me know as i am interested to move there with my wife. some input on health insurance also would be helpful. thanks

I want to live there awesome

Love from Pakistan ❤️, please tell me is it possible to purchase an apartment or house in between 20K to 30K USD $...? As a foreigner on a visit visa ?

I read buying a car in Argentina is expensive !? But,over all fantastic !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💕🇦🇷💞

Hi, i want to move Argentina and dont know where to locate or how and etc. Please can you advice me?

I cant believe that with a day of work can I leave in Argentina for the whole month. Wow I will like to move there in my retirement days.

Am thinking about moving to Argentina. What is safety like there for you

What city do you live in, it looks nice and safe

how fast is your download speed?

How is the night life ? I am thinking in moving there

What is the requirement for getting a permenent residency over there?

Very interesting video and quite informative. However, as a foreigner, I'd like if you would include what an average Argentinian student and / or blue collar worker would make an hour or per month for reference.

My pension is 600 USD I m 65 and my wife 52 Will I get a retirement visa Can we do part time job in Argentina is it allowed legally

Here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 it’s $300 a month just for 1 person to have to cook The entire month and never eat out

Does anyone know of people who teach English in Buenos Aires? Or Argentina in general? I substitute teach in the US and I'm about to start a course in TEFL and relocation is a big possibility and I'm loving what I see in these videos about Buenos Aires...thx!
