Working in Argentina

Working in Argentina is a chaos. Not we don’t want to be something better. It’s because we are Argetinians.

I’m kidding.

Sometimes things become worst because we end up becoming part of the problem. A lot of every expenses we have it’s because all the crisis we went through. Reapetely over the course of our history. And if you complain about it, you will not have any subsidiary of the goverment. We love to paid everthing by yourself. The thing is we can’t. Because our salarys are low even if you are in a good position.

How we can solve this?

There is a few ways I found to become better spending money.

  • Have at least one more job: this is the terrible one. You won’t have too much free time. 12 hours for work maybe can paid off but…no time for family, friend…nothing else.
  • Reduces your expenses: this is a good one. You can do this finding services you can share with friends, familiy, people you know for working, Not eating outside everyday and cooking at home, not coming to the office everyday if you work in a office, recycle things at home, donate…
  • Unsuscribe to services in the money you can’t paid off. If you are not going to use a software or a movie service, cancel it and delete if from your brain. Find yourself a substitute, like a free book. You even have free digital books to read in some stations of the subway
  • Find free courses already paid by the goverment to keep learning. Don’t paid for things you can learn almost for free. The goverment has courses, diplomas, universities for free. Don’t be stupid like me who paid almost 12 years of things you can learning in public national universities.
  • Find courses that your company can paid for. Some companies can paid for courses if there are aligned with your profile. Talk to HR and your boss about it.
  • There are free wifi services in some spots of BA but I personally recommend the nacional public library in Buenos Aires. It has good wifi services for free. You only need your ID to enter.
  • Save the tickets. Some company receipts can be sent to the company if there are tickets of lauch, transportation in working hours. Check this with your company.
  • Have only 1 credit card. This is something I am going to try this month in order to consume less. I will tell about it.
