Over the last few years, I’ve often heard how cheap Argentina is and I have posted about the cost of living there before. It’s always seemed real cheap and a place where someone without a lot of money coming in can make a go of it. Seeing these figures about the cost of living for a family and reading the comments, I really don’t know if that’s the case anymore.

I think I’d be hard pressed to leave the US if I knew I would have a cost of living of more than $3,000 a month. It’s possible to do it in the US on less and if getting out of the US is your objective, there are cheaper alternative. Maybe these figures aren’t accurate but they sure do deserve a closer look.
