Thanks or mucho gracias.....
Inflación Is 59% annual un 2018/3. Atención con viejos precios
Also, how is possible for Buenos Aires to be considered such a low cost city? According to this same numbers, living by your own costs 11.000 (rent) + 17.000 = ARS$ 28.000. But a standard salary is ARS$21.000. This leaves you with a negative result of $7.000. If you don't come from a wealthy family you literally can't become a financially independent person in this city. This country (and specially this city) is way more expensive to live in that most, if not all, first world cities.
The annual inflation rate is around 40%. Property rentals actually have increased much more than 40%. Many property owners just increase the rent following the dollar instead of inflation.
Crappy food is cheap, but good quality food is very expensive.
Here is a high-level summary depending on your situation:
- Salary in pesos, without labour union agreement -> POVERTY
- Salary in pesos, with labour union agreement -> OK MAYBE
- Salary in dollars -> NICE
Salary in pesos without labour union agreement is seriously bad. Most people can't negotiate a 40% salary increase on their own. You should evaluate other options (maybe a different country to immigrate).
You can't save in Argentinian pesos, prices increase every day so pesos lose value very quickly.
Argentinian banks are not safe (corralito), you must save your money elsewhere (foreign bank, safe, under the mattress, etc).
Depending on the government in place, you may or may not be able to buy foreign currency legally.
