Argentines struggle to make ends meet amid 100% inflation

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Jesica Fernández used to join seven family members every weekend for a large beef barbeque. Beef is no longer on the menu, and now they’re more likely to eat spaghetti or chicken wings.

Their official exchange rate was almost 203 Pesos to the Dollar today but if you send yourself money through Western Union you can get over 391 to 1. Makes it extremely cheap for Americans to travel or live there. Brits get even more Pesos per Pound and Europeans get slightly more than Americans. The cost of living is officially about half the U.S. but with the extra Pesos it's more like 20-30% of the U.S. depending on where you go there.

Was in Buenos Aires for two days, Puerto Madryn, and Ushuaia earlier in the year on a cruise to Antarctica. Visa and MasterCard were giving close to the blue rate of 371 where a few months earlier you were charged the official rate(185?).
Makes it a lot cheaper to put things on the card. And no hassle of Western Union or going to a cambio house. Wonderful country!!!!

I didn’t quote it right. Here is the actual quote.
“Throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps the loudest is usually the one that got hit”. - Louis L'Amour

Still never heard of it.

That's great to hear! Love that country.

Which is likely why he is still working the high paying, part time job.

That's what happens when you get paid $20 an hour to do a $12 an hour job
