Yo la moster la pago 1500 pesos acá en Ramos Mejía Saludos !

Me parece demasiado pagar 1k usd por vivir 1 mes en Palermo, Belgrano o Recoleta si por Puerto Madero, pero cada uno es libre de pagar lo que quiera, pero hay barrios como Chacharita, Barracas, Caballito, Boedo, Parque Chas y muchos otros Almagro Coglanh, Agronomía, Núñez Devoto que son mas baratos y la seguridad no es mala. Saludos !

BA got really expensive. I just paid 20 USD for a small pizza. A beer is like 5-6 USD.

The actual pesos conversion rate is much less important than the actual cost of the goods or services you’re paying for .
It’s all about the inflation rate

Mid price steak house (personal favourite): "Parrilla Peña" - don't leave BsAs without trying it.

Why didn't he talk about the blue rate vs official exchange rate.

I was just in BA in Oct, the official gov exchange rate was about 1k pesos for 1 USD, but the blue rate was closer to 1300 pesos for 1 USD.

DONT use your card, bring USD and go to a Western union to exchange USD to pesos and don't exchange with the official rate, you literally get like 30% more with the unofficial rate.

Is it feasible to stay in hostels for a prolonged period in BA? I'd love to be around and frequently meet new people. Great video btw.

Any suggestions on how/where to meet foreigners besides using Facebook groups? Also do many Argentinians speak English in Buenos Aires ?

How much can someone save by living in other cities, like Salta or Mendoza or ??? We are retired and searching for our favorite retirement city between Mexico and Argentina. We are currently in a fantastic mountain city called Xela, in Guatemala and without budgeting we spend about $1100-$1200 USD/month. We hope to keep our budget at $2000 USD/month or less. We are guessing living in BA on $2000 USD/month may be difficult.
We speak Spanish and live a modest middle class lifestyle. We are Vegan, so our grocery bill is usually pretty small....fruits, veggies, grains and legumes, nuts and seeds. Can one save maybe 25% by living in a smaller city than BA ? Thanks !

I’m wondering why my friend’s 2 bedroom rent went from $500 to $1000 a year ago and 2 months ago it went up another $200 to $1200 and he says it’s a good deal. Doesn’t even have air conditioning. Not even close to the price you stated here.

Hey man, I'm visiting Buenos Aires in September for 2 weeks. I stay at nice hotels when I visit other countries. I want to stay in a safe area with walking distance to the gyms, bars, restaurants, strip bars. You mentioned staying at Palermo area, is that what you recommend?

How about cash vs. credit cards (specifically foreign ones)? I've heard that cash still rules there but maybe isn't super easy to get? Sometimes ATMs have, sometimes they don't. You can use cuevas...or Western Union. What are the best options?

[eaglevision]

So all in all how much would it be for a month

[maltagoya]

Can u pay with credit card on the grocery store or just cash? Also is credit card the mep rate?

[AhmedFouad-suzp]

[TH-vfsn]

Expensive compared to lima, here a lunch is 3.5-5 usd and me rent it 300 usd

[ashutoshkumar]

Hi mate.
Grocery+utility bills for 2 people in one month there at present?

[figgettit]

referring to yourself as a foodie is just sad at this point.
