Looking for opinions on Argentina.
I am looking at options for living long term part time (5.5 months) away from Canada. With the possibility of making a permanent move in the future.

Background: Retired CAF with a substantial retirement combined with injury pension. Would just be me and my teenage son travelling.
Funding wise, I clear approx $6000 USD/month after taxes.

What's the internet access like in the rural areas?
I plan on renting a car for mobility as I hate public transport.
What's the best places for rural living where I can enjoy the Gaucho culture?
Are there any places I might be priced out of living?
Thanks

i dont recommend a permament residence there, taxes are absurd (so keep your canadian fiscal residence ).
Uruguay also has rural areas and the taxes are cheaper, i recommend it (plus they have programs just for your situation).
Argentina is big so a car is a mist but every car there is rather expensive due to taxes, renting a car is not cheap in the long run.
Going back to your question, Argentina has Starlink so get that, the gaucho lifestyle is associated with living in the middle of the country (places like Cordoba, La Pampa or Santa Fe) though i reccomend the south (like Neuquen).
You will get priced out of living in dense metropolitan areas like Buenos Aires but its not what you're looking for.
Still, I recommend Uruguay (maybe even southern Brazil) but if you're dead set, knock yourself out (talk to an accountant so you dont get scalped through taxes).

That's a lot of money to live here. As for gaucho lifestyle you also have Corrientes, and a bit less Entre Rios, both are humid a kind of hot places. Buenos Aires too
Do you have some climate or geography preference? This country is really big and diverse

Get Starlink and you won't have to deal with any issues.

>Are there any places I might be priced out of living?
I was kind of shocked at how expensive Buenos Aires was. I mean, the average wage there is only about $350/month. Food is 20% higher than in the U.S. (and I don't mean "at a fancy restaurant", I mean grocery stores and Wendy's). Rentals, I don't have a good handle on them because "tourist price" but even a cheap hotel was $55/night (and the more expensive hotels didn't offer anything better to make them worth higher prices).

Mar del Plata is supposed to be nice if you want ocean.

If you need to cash out any Bitcoin, I only found a single currency exchange that would do it for me. A few places handled USDT on the TRON chain (TRC20).

The place felt pretty safe to me, but then again, I stayed in the nice part of BA.

starlink

ok but in BA public transport is better
What's the best places for rural living where I can enjoy the Gaucho culture?
South if u wanna be alone, Entre Rios if u want populated rural area
Are there any places I might be priced out of living?
Palermo, Belgrano, Recoleta, San Telmo.
Bariloche.

6000 is stupid money to live, i use 1300 monthly and i spend a lot on bullshit

>>2877198
get out of tourist traps and youll see how cheaper it gets
FUCK mar del plata its literally a shithole, go to pinamar if u want a good beach
there are a lot of exchange houses that will take your usd or your crypto and give u a good ammount of money

I was just there on holiday so take my limited view. Buenos Aires is a very cool party city but not really cheap. If you have a child then perhaps you won't take advantage of that anyway. Do you speak Spanish? You better if want to have a great time. I loved BA and Patagonia for a holiday. I have heard of people doing the digital nomad thing in BA. For living there I reckon you would really need to embrace the lifestyle and learning Spanish. The rest you could overcome easily.

Practically none of them take "crypto". The few who do almost all only take USDT-TRON. I only found one willing to take Bitcorn (their sign also indicated Ethereum was allowable but I didn't try it). I didn't find any willing to take anything else.

>their sign
I think you need to talk to people to find an unofficial exchange, aka cava, that deals with crypto, but I still wouldn't expect them to trade much other than btc/eth

I'm Argentinan my mom says but I'll never go there

Why do you fucking underage kids come here and just post blatant disinfo? His income is 6k a month. You can live upper class lifestyle in Buenos Aires for 2k a month.
