Hello everyone,

Is there anything you wish you had known before moving to Argentina? For example, transportation, internet speeds, types of housing, aspects of the culture or social life.

In your opinion, what's the most important thing to know about Argentina?

When would you recommend someone should begin planning their move to Argentina?

What were the most helpful ways you found to get organised? For example, did you use a checklist, were there any particularly useful websites or apps?

What advice would you give to future expats preparing to move to Argentina?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Get ready for PERMANENT HIGH INFLATION such that prices are totally unpredictable and rise DAILY.40 inflation's a joke..that's just on supermarket prices.Go try to buy anything outside supermarkets and anything can happen.I just left there after 10 years for the above reasons.Argentina's super-ricos have always controlled prices from above,and they ADORE INFLATION.When the 98% need credit or go under,the super-rich get even richer.This includes,of course,after a total collapse like that in 2000.Argentina's economy is CONTROLLED, RIP-OFF CAPITALISM.There's basically NO COMPETITION,since wholesale prices are controlled from above with the total cooperation of any govt.Be fore-warned.
