Question

What is the cost of living in buenos aires compared to the US? how much $/month in order to live comfortably?

Answer 1

Well, I just came back from Buenos Aires and was thinking about the same thing.  Being there though, I think one from the U.S. can live comfortably there regardless of status.  I checked some of the properties on sale while there, the prices where pretty much less than here in the US particularly in California.  Some of the sale prices I saw where from the low 30,000 (apartment studio) US$ to about a million.

The cost of food, groceries is about 2/3 less than here (the going exchange rate is 1 dollar to 3.08 peso).  The unemployment rate is high - just like anywhere else in the world.

The bottom line is that if you have the $dough$, you'll be able to live in BA comfortably.

Answer 3

I have family there.  It is very tough.  A Beautiful land but the people struggle.  1 Dollar is 3 Pesos.  But, an american retiring with dollars could live comfortably.  If you do not have to work and have a set income.  I would say comfortably, $1200.00 a month.

Answer 4

Living in Bs As is pretty cheap for anyone who has US dollars, euros or any strong currency. If you're a single person and have to rent an apartment I'd say that U$1500 a month is more than enough.
