Cost of Living in Buenos Aires

23 July 2022. Unofficial dollar exchange: 350 pesos each dollar. That means, prices are totally out of date and need to be recalculated.

Prices are totally off. All entries should be made in any more stable currency than the Argentinian peso. Because of hyperinflation, entries in pesos which are several months old are worthless.

Argentinians think they are Europeans but they'll never be. They are arrogant selfish bastards who think the rest of the world is garbage. Argentina is just like Venezuela on a downward spiral. Argentina has been defaulting on loans since 2015 never repaid any of them in full. The country is full of untrustworthy people. None of the large buildings are paid for in Buenos Aires. But the Argentina government gave the green light for investors to build them. When investors wanted to get paid by the Argentina government the government said its setting on Argentina soil so nothing got paid for. Those are the types of people Argentinians really are. The

USD to ARS local rate?

Is it good time to go there on April?

Thanks

Porteñas Girls have to put away their arrogant attitude and sell their nice asses to real westerners. The good days are coming back for men with initiative!

Right now the average monthly salary gross is $150 usd.Looks like that's the new salary. Minimum monthly wage was $255 usd monthly but it was lowered to $70 monthly gross before taxes 5 months ago.

Can there be possibility to see the brackett of an average household income and budget for an average and wealthy family living in Argentina.

Thanks OLEG I hope the best for your country too.Very few people have bank accounts throughout Argentina due to government theft of their accounts.Although Ukraine has its problems it doesn't even come close to Argentina problems. Many Argentinians have left and never returned.

Thanks for your kindness OLEG towards Argentina. I have friends from Ukraine and they tell me the same as you did concerning addiction to the IMF.Although the west has modernized Buenos Aires it came with a heavy price for Argentina citizens. The Argentina government has tried to model after the west for over 25 years.The only things I regret by leaving Argentina is my beautiful country and warm hearted people that reside there, my culture. Yes some of our cities are shiny and expensive but none of it is paid for.Argentina government hasn't paid for loans since 2001.The U S won't let Argentina borrow money anymore just like many other countries won't lend Argentina any money.The Argentina government blocks any negative press about the horrible circumstances throughout Argentina citizens endure daily. Many in Argentina are literally starving to death truth be known. The Argentina government has banned farmers from growing food. The Argentina government has banned farmers from raising cattle sheep pigs or any other meat people can eat.Argentinans are banned from leaving the country.Argentina is truly finished people are rioting desperate to eat people are beyond panicking,it's a matter of life or death. My friends from the Ukraine tell me atleast they can eat vegetables and meat. We don't have that luxury in Argentina. Before I left Argentina with my family the police and military are patrolling the entire city preventing citizens from leaving their homes.

I feel your pain man! SadlyI must say the same about my own country ( Ukraine). We are here so hooked on IMF and socialism that it makes me wonder which country your or mine has a better chance of breaking out of this cycle ...

The real monthly salary is far lower than the reported. The real one is about ARS 45200 or USD 284.28, per month. There's no way the median salary is 86300 or USD 540.

Something desperately needs to be done in Argentina. Currently it's 85ars to 1usd. Fortunately I have small land to grow food outside of BA but many in BA are going hungry.

Argentinians normally have attitude between themselves and anyone else.Overall they think they're better than anyone else too.Argentinas economy won't rebound in the near or distant future with their poor repayment of loans they just continue to default leaving investors taking big losses and they've done so since 2001.The ARS is approaching high devalue just like Venezuela has already done.Argentina is only good at one thing, corruption just like their neighbor Venezuela,but investors never forget nor does the IMF.Yes they never repaid those loans either.

The realization of the goal is based on my strong desire to succeed

Ha! Again nice little Porteñas'asses to exploit. Don't miss the opportunity! The great life is next door!

u should give an overall monthly cost at the bottom of each category coz it would have really helped me with work.

Prices are much higher now due to inflation. Since it's an ongoing process it's very hard to define prices. There's a great variation depending on the place into the city you are considering.

The prices of apartment's rent indicated here it is only for people who already have other apartments as "garantia". If you don't have any you should pay surety insurance or rent a temporal apartment that allowed stay no more than 6 or 12 months.
So full cost of longterm rent is +50% higher for any person who hadn't any other properties.

I am sorry, but your rent prices are not correct as you indicated prices for rent without furniture!!! And expenses: like swimming pool care, security, territory care and so on .. it is a separate additional costs in addition to utilities and rent costs. Now in Central part of Buenos Aires prices are much higher if you need the appartment with furniture. At least 40 000 ars.

As of March 2019 current inflation is 71%.The president of China Xi met with the president of Argentina for some business dealings in Argentina.China is ruining southeast Asia and many other countries with their controlling nature economically.People in Argentina in general need a humbling experience especially since the majority thinks they're better than any other countries.The Chinese government will turn Argentina into a big whorehouse with their casinos.Time to shake your money makers for the Chinese men, ladies.

The post from #Anonymous dated March 2 is how I see it too.I lived in Buenos Aires for 11 years as a British expat.But over the last 3 years the ARS is doing terribly but so is the British Sterling as well.In general the people of Buenos Aires are very rude to visitors or to people who lived in Buenos Aires such as myself.I've noticed visitors have basically disappeared from Buenos Aires over the past 3 years.I suppose native citizens of Buenos Aires want to join the government and go down with the ship economically.I'm leaving Buenos Aires next week and returning to the UK never to even visit Buenos Aires again.

I agree with Sofia, this chart is way off the mark. I lived in Buenos Aires from 2017 - 2019 and the peso went from 15 ARS to the dollar to 38 ARS to the dollar now. The central bank pegs inflation at around 40% and the actual inflation at the price level is at least 20% - 30% annually in real terms. Many people exchange their peso paychecks for dollars and hold on to the dollars until they need pesos. This helps them stay ahead of inflation. The food costs in the chart are way low as are expenses for utilities. This year, the government is reducing price supports for utilities and thus all utilities will be going up for individual households this year. You cannot take some price from May of 2018 and compare it to the same price in February of 2019. In that 8 months, everything has changed. And it will continue to change dramatically until the country gets its monetary policy and fiscal house in order. Years down the road.

The numbers as to ARS to USD are wrong.Some of you notably LOST GRINGO for one is totally off the currency mark.Heres a factual example $1,225 USD = 45,940 ars------ $1,225 usd × 12 months = $14,700 USD annually which translates into 551,284 ars annually.I didn't pull these numbers out of the air as most do unfortunately.That is the current currency exchange rate as of 12-6-2018.Go to Google search type USD to ARS the money converter.If people are going to quote numbers then quote them accurately.I'm an American citizen that's lived in Argentina for over 15 years and own an accounting firm.Currency rates change each day obviously.It doesn't take an accountant to check currency exchange rates but obviously some of you need a brain.

I live here and the current information is still very accurate. The average net salary here is also accurate but middle class professionals make a lot more than 20k (upwards of 30k).

This is not accurate at all. It would be better if you erase past contributions and focus on the latest month. The inflation rate is very, very High. I life in Berlin and acording to this BA is 43% cheaper than Berlin, whereas I am certain that BA is actually more expensive than Berlin, maybe by about 10-20% depending on what.
