Live well in Buenos Aires under $1000 a month!?👀

[@Dud-in9iu]

You are one of the very few bloggers who asks the locals their opinions in addition to making your own assessment as an expat. Nice touch, provides a great comparison and a more realistic set of viewpoints

[@rizenfly]

Thank you, I try my best and appreciate your support 100%

[@claudiofimiani]

Great content, man! Cheers from Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires

[@rizenfly]

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the support brother 😎

[@joselsp777]

As argentinian is great to see your videos showing our country. Argentina is a good place to live, we have some historical problems like inflation but is a really good place to live for a low cost and it's pretty safe if you know what places you didn't need to go haha. I recommend you to visit another places in the country, is less multicultural but people always are sweet and caring about each others.

[@rizenfly]

Cool thanks for listening sharing your insights, I do plan on seeing more of your beautiful country😎

[@jejudo3000]

Are you guys going to adopt US dollars as your currency in the future?

[@joselsp777]

​@@jejudo3000 No, the current political economics goes for a "free currency competition" so anyone can use what ever currency pretends to deal with.

[@livingabroadwitheric]

Solid video brochacho. I like this style. Where you at now? Colombia? Im currently in Quito Ecuador driving south. Plan on coming here at any time?

[@rizenfly]

Thanks brother I appreciate your support, yes I plan to come to Ecuador soon✈️

[@markrush2319]

I lived in Buenos Aires for nearly 10 years. It is the best and most affordable and beautiful international city I have ever lived in, but all of Argentina is awesome.

[@rizenfly]

Yes such great vibes in Argentina😎

[@hialeahkid2]

I was down there in 2010 , I may head back down this December for a month .

[@rizenfly]

Cool😎

The study plan for the degrees are similar in years to what you have on the States, but as your guess said, most people works full time (part-time jobs are hard to find, or the pay is not a living wage) while studying, so it usually takes longer or ends up on a burnout. The equivalent to an Associate degree in Argentina would be a Tecnicatura, which are supposed to take 4 to 6 semesters. A Licenciatura could be a BS or a BA depending on the structure, and the study plans are lined up for anything between 7 and 10 semesters. An Ingeniería is a BS in Engineering, they're usually setup to go 10 to 13 semesters. Other specific careers like Law, Accounting or Medicine have their special degree titles, and they take usually at least 11 semesters. That's the planned time, so that's the min time it would take given how the different courses / classes depend on each other, but most people take more than that

[@rizenfly]

Very insightful, thanks for sharing your experience on this topic. I appreciate your support 💯

[@Kingofwallstreet]

Hey can you guide me on the process of studies for grad school? Masters or phd program.

[@AutismInsight]

nice. Will be there in 2 weeks time. Excited and cant wait

[@rizenfly]

Cool Hope you enjoy your trip✈️

[@mzamendoza8825]

Hello ! In my opinion, the degree course takes 5 years and the engineering degree takes 6, a medical degree takes 7 years including the specialization. The duration depends on your study capacity, dedication and your expectations.

[@rizenfly]

Thanks for sharing your insights, and for watching. I really appreciate that😎

[@GauchoNomade]

Great video man. Thanks for sharing your impressions and the interview. I would like to clarify regarding the university in Argentina. As the lady said, the National Universities are for free. When she said that you normally study for several years it does not mean master or doctorate, it is just the same 5 or 6 years career that takes longer to get the degree. In general a student that has just gotten the degree will have some work experience of some type. A potential employer would not be surprised about how long your study was but but surely will be if you have not work experience at all. A Master study in general is private therefore not for free. However there are exceptions. Some scientific and engineering careers in public universities you can still have a Master or doctorate not only for free but with scholarship. Besides that you have private universities as well.The cost is not that much as others countries since having a public University for free is lowering the fees of private ones. Foreigners use to study for free as well however this is changing nowadays. regards

Cool I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your insight and perspective, much appreciated 😎

Thank you, great review. I appreciate it greatly!

You’re welcome..Glad it was helpful!

[@leomomento1901]

Currently argentinian salaries are among the lowest of the region. Mostly because of inflation and devaluation of the peso. Many local people are managing with less than half of the values you’re mentioning on the video. Just to note the differences between the quality of life managed by residents and by tourists from countries in a better economical shape

[@rizenfly]

[@DEUTSCHLAND.007]

What she means about safety is : dont make yourself a target, dont be showing off (like wearing expensive jewelry etc), dont make it obvious you are a foreigner or tourist by repeatedly taking photos out in public areas if you are not aware of the crime rate in a particular location. Pickpocketing, purse snatching, and phone theft is high as they get traded in for drugs. Dont use ATM locations after dark. Avoid certain areas like Retiro, Flores which attracts gangs, drug dealers and violent crime. What she means about education : free education is mostly available to citizens but there is always a way around for foreigners to get access to it, even if you temporarily moved to Argentina. What she means by length of time to get a degree: being that free education is available through community colleges and such, you are limited to their class schedule. And most argentine can only assist to class part-time being that they got no choice but to also hold a job in order to provide for themselves and/or contribute with family expenses -while attending classes. What she means about healthcare: (obviously she doesnt want to badmouth her country). There is public and private care as in most countries. Private always means better choices of care. Public involves long waiting hours and understaffed even in an ER, most likely below standards care which can cost you your life. What she says about middle class : yes there is a middle class however there is a marked difference amongst them, and the classes appear quite divided. The rich sticks to those in their circle, to their exclusive areas and they frequent their upscale establishments. The poor is poor; some have gone from poor to indigent and you see them in the streets. And in between, the high or low middle class barely hanging on. About racial and ethnic acceptance: argentine have european roots and are themselves a mix of spaniard and italian inmigrants so (for the most part) they are a welcoming society. What she means about investments: your best bet for investing could be real estate but stay alert and look out for scams. Her body language speaks louder than her words.

Dear Rise and Fly. What will you do about visas in Argentina? Will you be renewing tourist visas with border runs? Because it is a valid concern, but is not often talked about.

[@rizenfly]

That very true, good question. I would apply for the digital nomad that allows to stay for up to 1 year, the work towards achieving permanent residency.

[@freedom4life312]

We love your handsome face😍, but we also want to see the city. 😉

Thanks I appreciate that..I have income from some real estate investments

What do you do for money? Do you have passive income? If so, what passive income sources do you have?

[@rizenfly]

I have passive income through real estate and stock investments

[@bonevays]

What we need to know is, how much, or how little, in cash we need to have. I cannot handle countries where I need to carry dollars all the time

[@rizenfly]

I’d say between $500 to $1,000

[@sammencia7945]

Add health insurance.

[@gab-123-abc]

If you have a formal income under 1200 you can stay out of the tax radar, get your residence and apply for a citizenship. You can use cryptos for everything else and nobody will disturb you.

[@rizenfly]

Sounds great, thanks for sharing your insights😎

[@mlbonfox8199]

Per mo or yearly??????

[@mlbonfox8199]

lol; I’ll pass on the female advice 😂

If you mean dollars monthly, it doesn't make sense. Do you guys do your taxes in dollars? Or is it a peso amount that will be very different in 2 months?

This is no longer accurate 😢. BA is just as expensive as some US cities.

There are districts more dangerous than other in Buenos Aires City, and some areas outside the capital city are just like a landscape of Mad Max movie, but If you stay in the good/tourist districts of the capital city (Ciudad de Buenos Aires) you are safe enough. PD: With president Milei public university will stop to be free, thank god.

[@rizenfly]

Thanks for sharing your perspective, I appreciate that..much love to Argentina ❤️

Interesting you refer to the landscape of a Mad Max movie - you do know they were filmed in the Australian outback?

Yes, there some shanty towns outside the city but it’s like that in many cities across the US, the only difference is in Buenos Aires guns are illegal unlike in the US where most people carry guns. The worst thing that can happen in Argentina is you may get robbed, rarely injured.

[@12azsfinest]

Man how you spending so much out there, 🤔 you must be using the officially exchange rate 🤣, you getting robbed my guy

In general Buenos Aires it is very safe. Just use common sense like any other European city. I was in medellin colombia from 2023, and over 40 western men got deleted by (S) workers, and Gangsters own women from the hoods. Thousands more are being droug, kidnapped and robbed with (Scopolamine) this year the count is up to 32, so I got my bud out of there!!! This doesn't happened in countries like Argentina, Chile or Uruguay.

[@rizenfly]

Yes I felt very safe in Buenos Aires, very cool city 😎

[@Cambodiavibe]

Nice video. How essential is having Spanish skills?

[@rizenfly]

I think knowing basic conversational Spanish is essential to have. However Google translate is a great help as well
