I have been living as a retired expat in BA for a while now. Your video is 100% spot on. Am still enjoying melbecs & ribeyes at incredible savings. Demonstrations are peaceful for the most part & typically in front of Plaza de Mayo.
We, my wife and I, spend 4 months in BA. I got a tooth ache and even though I have international insurance I paid in cash. I saw a dentist four times all together. Eventually I had to get the tooth pulled and it cost me $120 for the dentist and $22 for medicine. Although the dentist charged me $60 to pull the tooth I paid him $100! He was great.
You guys don’t look old to me ! I’m 73 and currently live in Mexico . I’m considering relocating to Uruguay or Argentina . Now you have me wondering if I’m to old 🧐
The private hospitals you’re talking about are called “clínicas privadas” en Español. You only get services in a determined facility for doctors that only serve that health care facility. The private system is very similar in various Latin-American countries but different to the American health care system.
Thank You you for the update! I’m still looking to soft land in Chapala area next spring. My house is for sale with plans to put money into 10 year bonds. Thanks to your video I can retire early!!! I figured out a way even if house doesn’t sale. Happy Dance! Best to you both! Ted in Seattle 🌈
Hi Ted 😁 congratulations 🎉 👏🏻🥂 woohoo 🙌 we are thrilled that we helped you retire early! Which video was it? Our friends lived at Lake Chapala 5-6 years and we are planning a video on their experience so I hope you’ll stay with us for that.
I’ve watched several videos by you however it was the one with the ten year bond graph that put everything into motion. Now I’m hearing about Mexican Bonds. From what I’ve gleaned they pay higher and you can pull your money out at anytime. Definitely more research there first. 😁
I’m from Mar del Plata, married to a Texan. I’m also an American citizen. In about 3 yrs, we retire and plan on moving. I’m so grateful to have found you folks!

@@Kazekoge101 I think it’s in Houston, and I have a long list of questions for them. I’m constantly preparing for this. I’m not sure if it’s any cheaper, but my huge family is in Mar del, so that’s definitely where we want to live.
Hundreds of thousands of people turned out to protest attempts to cut public university subsidies; the average pension (equivalent to USA Social Security) is under USD $200. Salaries are very low. Supermarkets are not cheap for people on these incomes; health insurance rates have soared forcing a lot of people to drop private care and turn to inadequate public hospitals; people are struggling.
Hi Randall, you’re absolutely right that life is very difficult for local Argentinians now. They don’t have the benefit of starting with US currency so they really are struggling and it’s very sad. we direct our information towards Xpats mainly, and by no means wish to demean the struggles of the Argentinian workers, it is a real struggle. Our hope is that these necessary changes are temporary, and Will soon make life much better for everyone. Thank you for watching and leaving your comment.
@@laptopseniors I'm sorry it seems I expressed myself poorly. I was aware that you are directing this to potential expats. What I can not understand is why a FAMILY from a country like the US would want to emigrate to Argentina and live on a modest income. By a family I assume you are referring to an adult couple with at least one child. Having USD is an advantage but the dollar has far less buying power than it had six months ago. Even middle class Argentines of moderate means send their children to private school. Have you checked fees, especially for the better schools that expats from the US are likely to prefer? Then there is private health care which every legally employed person in this country receives and needs (the public system being poor with the possible exception of the Fernandez which is good for a lot of emergencies but otherwise is overwhelmed ). Incidentally, if you are aged 65+ private health care is almost impossible to get and is expensive. Middle class families have cars, particularly professional people. They need them when they don't live in the urban centre. Industrial goods are expensive. Try buying quality furniture, appliances, electronics. Argentina is unpredictable. Policies can change quickly. This is not Mexico with large tight knit expat communities in places like Ajijic and San Miguel d'Allende and a more stable economy.. If you're a person who works by distance, paid in USD or euros Buenos Aires is a great place in many respects. If you're a single pensioner, you like the culture, appreciate all the high quality classical music, performing arts, theatre, museums, cafes and restaurants, BA might be an option if you have an adequate income, can get health insurance, speak the language and are flexible enough to cope with a very unpredictable country. Anyone considering emigrating to Argentina needs to visit for a few months and take a close look.
@@randall8379 It's a hard hard decision sometimes for many. We hear that a LOT. For those with a pension of say....35k USD, in the US or Canada it's exceedingly difficult to make ends meet. Whereas 40k basically anywhere from the US to Antartica is going to be ok. Hence gambling on a new country. Even Argentina because the choice might be out on the street in Maryland, or a nice 1 bedroom in Mendoza. As for a whole family with young ones, I guess the decision might be the same although it's going to be much tougher unless they're coming with skills sorely in need AND they speak Spanish. Their situation drives it all. Which is probably why so many young Ukrainians and Russians are now in Argentina with families or starting families. Their driver is war that they want no part of.
@@laptopseniors I wasn't thinking of Ukranians or Russians who have indeed been emigrating to Argentina. I have heard that most come as tourists and then remain, hoping to get residence visas. Quite a few Russian women have given birth in Argentine hospitals which gives the child a right to Argentine citizenship and expedites the parents' residence application. Their situation is one of urgency of course. I assumed that your audience is largely North American. In the case of North Americans, most will want to enter with a residence visa. My understanding is that this requires a guaranteed income of close to $2,000 USD a month but you might know more than I do. I'd also assumed that most of your audience are retired people. US retirees should consider that they will lose their Medicare benefits. Additionally, some would lose Medicaid and various public assistance programmes that exist in the US. I think this would be similar for Canadians who have universal health care and other social benefits. No matter what skills one has and how good their Spanish, without legal status work would be nearly impossible to find. It's hard enough for citizens. Can someone at risk of being homeless in Maryland really manage to get permission to live in Argentina, pay the air fare and survive even for a few months in a strange country?
@@randall8379 My understanding on the Medicare is as long as you make your payments, you won't lose it entirely if you should need to come back to the U.S. at a later time as a Plan B. Or is this incorrect?
Very interesting. This video, with the voices of your friends, reminded me of "You Are There," the 1947-57 American historical educational television and radio series broadcast over the CBS Radio and CBS Television networks. Thanks!

Great info! Thanks for making this great content. I was wondering if president Milei is planning to change Argentina to a territorial tax system. Have you heard anything about it? Thanks again for such a great and informative content. 👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the kudos and a great question , Vic. At the moment they tax worldwide income and we hope with the international affiliates Milei has supporting him he may set up tax treaties.

As an American we are very suspicious of hospitals given the overbilling and high costs associated with ER stays, out of network charges and other horrible billing practices. I love your presentation on insurance / doctor visits / anecdotes about hospitals. Scenarios in Argentina (Buenos Aires only): 1) Self insure and pay with one's own cash. Is this too risky? Can gigantic uffordable bills come about for ER / Hear attack / accident / cancer treatment ? Is this recommended? 2) Only travel accident / travel sickness insurance adequate? So, no pre existing conditions covered right? Also, no coverage for cancer treatment, etc. Just accidents and incidental tropical diseases? Is this insurance alone advisable? 3) Travel Medical insurance (internationally obtained or locally). I believe this covers the accidental stuff in item 2 above AND general diseases. Is this the best plan of action for a family moving there?
HI! I'm Argentinean. I recommend you travel insurance if you are coming for a short period of time for peace of mind, because you don't really need it. If you are moving more permanently you can get local health insurance to cover illnesses like cancer treatment and special medicine. In an emergency, you do not need health insurance at all since you wil be directed to the nearest level 1 trauma public hospital. Regardless of the surgery/treatment/hospitalization/etc you received it will cost you ZERO dollars. If it's not an emergency, you can choose to go to a private hospital and pay in cash or use health insurance, either way, it's way cheaper than the US. Also, you do not pay for ambulances and you can request to see an specialist right away, without seeing a clinician first. Hope this info helps you. Safe travels
We've heard that too. If we run across someone who's had it done or a Dr., yeah. Great idea. For us though, never had any work done so not much knowledge of that area.
@@Wajihavibes yes just them your passport number, keep in mind appointments can take a few weeks for non emergency care. Private care is also very cheap and easy to access as they often do not accept patients with insurance.
Thank you! I'm in the process of getting the Argentinian passport as my mom was born there, so Argentina is now on my radar. I appreciate all the information. Keep the videos coming 👍
It would be interesting to make comparisons of the cost of staples between the US and Argentina. I believe you have done this - more anecdotally - before. Also, restaurant comparisons. Thanks, interesting and informative video.
Today, ribeye at butcher was 12,900 pesos per kilo. Kilo is 2.2 pounds. About $5.87. My favorite melbec from Cafayate still at Chinos for 3,000 peos or about $3.00.
Great video again. Healthcare info + specific hospital names was very practical and informative, exchange info peso-usd: good to hear it has stabilized). Glad to hear that most Argentines are supporting Milei. We are awaiting for the Argentine embassy here in Panamá City to deliver my wife a visa. Patience is tested…….. Anyway, thanks and I will definitely keep following you seniors. Ciao again from Bella Vista🙋🏼♂️
@@boink800 Do you know of any dentists that successfully cure teeth withOUT root-canals that conventional dentists try to brainwash pateints to get root canals on?
When the IMF applauds what he's doing the alarm bells should be a ringing. He's doing what the globalist bankers want. He'll soon be selling all the farmland to Monsanto.
not treating cancer might make the patient 'happy,' but I'd rather be living. As Milei said: “You can’t give shit leftists an inch; if you give them an inch, they will use it to destroy you. You can’t negotiate with leftards; you don’t negotiate with trash, because they will end you… If you are on the other side, they will ruin you. They don’t care if they ruin your whole life. Why? Only because you don’t think like them. And do you know what’s the good part in all of this? Because, since to ‘err is human;’ since everyone can be mistaken, they FORCE US TO BE BETTER. And since we are getting better than them; SINCE WE ARE CRUSHING THEM IN THE CULTURAL BATTLE… We’re not only superior Economically, We are MORALLY Superior, we are aesthetically superior, we are BETTER THAN THEM AT EVERYTHING! …And that TRIGGERS them! Since they can’t beat us with real arguments, they just use the repressive apparatus of the STATE, with loads of TAXPAYER MONEY to DESTROY US… And yet they’re STILL LOSING!!” - Javier Milei, President of Argentina ruclips.net/video/kjWgnkF2ANw/видео.html
Hi. Great question! It helps to have close friends with a similar mindset who live there 😆 and actively follow current events. The only way to top that is to be there, and we plan to return if we can swing it.
Yes, you can google the "drug" name not the brand name that you use, type Argentina and it will show you the equivalent drug or even the same drug. Antibiotics, hypertension, colesterol and even cancer treatment drugs are the same.
That's likely low for BA, but in other cities in Buenos Aires you could do that. $3000 would surely do it. I've seen apartments (brand new being built) where a 1 bedroom in Villa Crespo (decent hood) is around 150k to buy. Then of course food etc. You don't need a car. Public transport in BA is superb and cheap. And then there's the typical income of an typical BA resident. That's going to be UNDER 30k a year. So...I'd ball park around $2200 - 2500 or obviously more to have a nice life there.
@@laptopseniors Where is Villa Cresta? I have never heard of it. It's a neighbourhood of Buenos Aires? Middle class families in Argentina DO own cars. If you don't live in a centrally located area of Buenos Aires such as Retiro, Recoleta, Palermo, Barrio Norte you NEED a car. A family would be quite limited without one. You are correct that most residents live with less than USD $30,000 a year -- I'd say FAR less however one has to ask WHY a family from a country like the US would want to live in Argentina on a limited income. Everything is very unstable. You must factor in the costs of health insurance, private school for children (the state system is not adequate, nor are public hospitals) but above all there is the unpredictability of the country. It might make sense for a single pensioner - but a family of foreigners coming from a country like the US?
@@randall8379 Sorry Randall. You're right. Doesn't exist. It's Villa Crespo. Trying to answer so many comments all at once, sometimes cities blend together. Similar name to a Panama City neighborhood.
Tell us about ,cost of housing and interview locals about locations in the city, where safety is st a reasonable level, local TV in Spanish Two bedroom apartments, price .. Salutations from Seattle Washington USA
Definitely many would disagree Marius, but he must have had more than 1/2 the votes to win the election. On a scale of 1-10, Argentina got itself down to a 1 economically from past ideas and policies. To continue those would be insane. Drastic changes had to made. Will they work? Who knows. But things look like their getting better slowly. Unfortunately many many people will suffer to get the country even back into the 5 or 6 range (out of 10). People will blame the new guy for the changes and trying to fix things when in reality the country should be super mad at the past politicians who made it get this bad. Those who voted for the past people are the ones who kept all this going. They're just as much to blame as the politicians themselves for putting up with it.
@@laptopseniors They did vote for change when they voted Macri into power but he was ineffective. A 100% pure capitalist state does not exist anywhere in the world. Argentina needs to find a balance, not extremes.
What? Did you really say Argentina won't accept gay blood donors? Does the Argentinian government really suffer from this sort of extreme homophobia? Is the general Argentinian populous equally homophobic too? This all sounds very shocking.
It is simply stupid, clearly one of those who voted for the current government, call him back in 1 or 2 years. And they say what excuse they give for the disaster. Half of the things he says are not true and the others are truths biased by his social position.

Where else can you get real news like this?
Hi. Great question! It helps to have close friends with a similar mindset who live there 😆 and actively follow current events. The only way to top that is to be there, and we plan to return if we can swing it.
Thank you so much for this excellent information! Would you have any idea how to check if my medications are available in Argentina?
Your medications would be available in Argentina for a much better price.
Yes, you can google the "drug" name not the brand name that you use, type Argentina and it will show you the equivalent drug or even the same drug. Antibiotics, hypertension, colesterol and even cancer treatment drugs are the same.
So, would you say that a family of 4 could live "decently" no luxuriously in BA for say....$1800 USD per month?
No. Try buying a car, furnishing a home, buying appliances. Then there is the need for private school.
That's likely low for BA, but in other cities in Buenos Aires you could do that. $3000 would surely do it. I've seen apartments (brand new being built) where a 1 bedroom in Villa Crespo (decent hood) is around 150k to buy. Then of course food etc. You don't need a car. Public transport in BA is superb and cheap. And then there's the typical income of an typical BA resident. That's going to be UNDER 30k a year. So...I'd ball park around $2200 - 2500 or obviously more to have a nice life there.
@@laptopseniors Where is Villa Cresta? I have never heard of it. It's a neighbourhood of Buenos Aires? Middle class families in Argentina DO own cars. If you don't live in a centrally located area of Buenos Aires such as Retiro, Recoleta, Palermo, Barrio Norte you NEED a car. A family would be quite limited without one. You are correct that most residents live with less than USD $30,000 a year -- I'd say FAR less however one has to ask WHY a family from a country like the US would want to live in Argentina on a limited income. Everything is very unstable. You must factor in the costs of health insurance, private school for children (the state system is not adequate, nor are public hospitals) but above all there is the unpredictability of the country. It might make sense for a single pensioner - but a family of foreigners coming from a country like the US?
@@randall8379 Sorry Randall. You're right. Doesn't exist. It's Villa Crespo. Trying to answer so many comments all at once, sometimes cities blend together. Similar name to a Panama City neighborhood.
last year no problem, this year not a chance. the exchange rate changed dramatically and not for the better if you hold USD
Tell us about ,cost of housing and interview locals about locations in the city, where safety is st a reasonable level, local TV in Spanish
Two bedroom apartments, price ..

Normal, not short term leases? Normal leases require a guarantor. Or do you mean to buy?
Thank you for this interesting video. Javier Millei is the most important politician in South and North Americas. He is the future!
Really skewed perspective. I think half of Argentina would disagree
Totally agree...
Definitely many would disagree Marius, but he must have had more than 1/2 the votes to win the election. On a scale of 1-10, Argentina got itself down to a 1 economically from past ideas and policies. To continue those would be insane. Drastic changes had to made. Will they work? Who knows. But things look like their getting better slowly. Unfortunately many many people will suffer to get the country even back into the 5 or 6 range (out of 10). People will blame the new guy for the changes and trying to fix things when in reality the country should be super mad at the past politicians who made it get this bad. Those who voted for the past people are the ones who kept all this going. They're just as much to blame as the politicians themselves for putting up with it.
@@laptopseniors They did vote for change when they voted Macri into power but he was ineffective. A 100% pure capitalist state does not exist anywhere in the world. Argentina needs to find a balance, not extremes.
What? Did you really say Argentina won't accept gay blood donors? Does the Argentinian government really suffer from this sort of extreme homophobia? Is the general Argentinian populous equally homophobic too? This all sounds very shocking.
I'm a nurse in Argentina, I've never heard of this.
@@BairesCARP33 Thank you.
It is simply stupid, clearly one of those who voted for the current government, call him back in 1 or 2 years. And they say what excuse they give for the disaster. Half of the things he says are not true and the others are truths biased by his social position.
