I lived and worked there for a while and would describe it as follows. The people / lifestyle / weather is amazing, by far the best I've experienced anywhere I've been (US and most of Europe). On the other hand, the level of corruption and price inflation and instability / beaurocracy of the system as a whole is very bad compared to EU countries / US. I'd say if you had a remote job earning dollars or euros and weren't tied to the system itself down there, then it would pretty much be a paradise. But if you have to live tied to the system then I would advise against it unless you are young and single and just want to experience cool new things and don't care about health care, owning property, starting a company, etc. All in all though a fantastic place and I would definitely recommend it to anyone for at least a couple months or a year or so.
