Moneywise, you're right. It's about 1/3 the price. The dollar converts to about 3 Argentine pesos and some change, right now. It fluctuates between like 2.80 and 3.20. When you're in the stores, the numbers on the pricetags are about the same you'd see in the US, but of course it's pesos. So what you get for $100US there, you get for about $100Arg here, then you still have $60 us left. 
The only thing that costs about the same is electronics, since like the US, a lot of it is imported from Japan and China. But food and living expenses and stuff is insanely cheap when you're used to US prices. |
Yeah, my friend told me no bargains on electronic stuff. Is your place typical of the rent I'd expect to pay there, or did you just luck out and get a good deal?

Wow! Only $600 for a 4BR? Thats insane. Cant get a nice place here for that, much less a 4BR. I rented a house in Columbus, OH - 2 BR, 1 Car Garage, Shitty Landlord and small yard for $810 a month.

I havent found any real estate listed online. Either I am not using the right keywords or they dont list thier stuff online like they do here in the states. I am not looking for buildings persay, I'd be quite happy with a nice chunck of land out in the middle of nowhere that I can build on.
