Nobody here eats 2 steaks a day..anymore.. Their buying power has been reduced ( inflation here is 25-33% per year ) with salaries always lagging behind. I moved to BA in 2006.. the dollar was 3:1. It's now 15:1. But again, with less power. The avg middle-class person used to have weekly 'asados' aka bbqs at their home with friends and now most can't afford the beef. The really good beef is exported to 1st world countries ( and recently the US : http://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/08/us/argentina-beef-ban-lifted/ http://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/08/us/argentina-beef-ban-lift...) Life quality however ( if earning USD ) is 4x what you will find in NYC ( where I grew up ). From here I was able to bootstrap 2 profitable startups ( hiring local talent ) http://JuicyCanvas.com http://JuicyCanvas.com & http://POPteam.io http://POPteam.io Live in a the best neighborhood in a 2k/sq ft house' and pay for a house-cleaner/nanny, 5-star health insurance, and top private school for my son. ( total 3k USD ).. the same exact lifestyle would cost 4x that in SF/NYC. Hardest thing was leaving my friends,family, and learning spanish. But I'm significantly ...way happier.
