moving to argentina and playing poker?
I'm 18 years old. Yes I know, young and foolish and filled with hope for life just waiting to get his spirits crushed. And so, before stands me one option. Accept money from the parents i most deeply dislike, attend a state university, get some degree in financing, making my 60-80k over a career, maybe one day 100k?!?!, hope america's infrastructure doesn' collapse one day, and die on the inside, shitting on every ideal of freedom and staying true to your dreams i ever held. Or... I become a poker pro. Now just stay with me here. An online professional poker player might make anywhere from 15k (you gotta be god awful) to 100k a year (you gotta be really good). Its quiet even possible I hit it lucky and I win a few lucrative tournaments here and there, cashing in some extra few hundred grand. On average, lets say an online poker pro, as myself, will make 50k a year... (Then again, I say I'm going to be making hundreds of thousands, but thats just arrogance speaking =P) At this point, financial analyst for the win. Poker earnings are still taxed as an income tax, the job would seem far to volatile and unreliable (no health benefeits and such), and quiet honestly I come out looking like a fool unless I am the new Phil Ivey of poker. Stage two... I move to buenos aires. Buenos Aires, Argentina, is deemed "the paris of south america". With warm weather, great nice people, and a happy atmosphere, the place seems great from everything I ever read. Not once have I read anything bad about the place. On top of that, due to inflation, on 20k u.s. A year, I'd be living like a prince there (Somewhat). For example, on average a person there makes 1500 pesos a month, 18000 a year. The exchange rate is 1 us dollar to 3.5 pesos. Thus, 20k is 70k pesos. A top notch lawyer makes about 6k a month, or about the equivelant to my 20k U.S. (which i also plan to switch into euros, for the dollars quickly losing value). Anyways, with due practice and diligence, even if I hit the lowest of cielings in poker, I can live happily in argentina. Part three. As a U.S. citizen, living abroad you still follow a U.S. income tax. At first I was infuriated by this, until I learned more... if you make under 95k a year though, your exempt from the income tax. :O. Thus, all my poker winnings now become tax free, and seeing as Argentina has much bigger problems to tackle, I don't see them making online gambling a policy of theres anytime soon. But thats the beautty of online poker! If things get heated in Buenos aires, I pick up my things and move somewhere else. All I need is an internet connection and a bank account and whalla! I am employed no matter where I go :). Part four. I get to argentina, I live happy, and say I'm not a retarted monkey at poker. I make say 50k a year? That leaves 30k a year extra. Those 30k, I invest in mutual fund, (stock and money), which can overtime lead to a year roi of say 5-10%. Say I get better at investing, manage to get my portofolio to a steady RoI of 8%, and continually pump in 30-50k of savings each year (hell, win a tournament or two, and I could throw in something like 100k in a given year.) In about 20 years, at that pace, my investment portfolio would be worth millions. Forty years? ITs not too hard to imagine anything in the range of 10-30 million. Of course, this is all cirumstantial! I can get shot in the head by a maniac who randomly let out a gun shot in the direction of my window as soon as I finished writing this. But what do you think? Is it too insane? I mean the average american savings per year is 400 bux, and on average the debt is something like 150k? Even as a financial analyst, pressured to live up to "Societal standards" I don't see myself investing more than 6-10k a year, and thats without the strain of a family or wife. So, PUT IN YOUR INPUT GUYS!

Wilderness survival book..?
Wilderness survival book..?
Have had this terrible incurable disease for a few years now,It has actually hindered everything in my life including my backpacking/vagabonding trips around the world while i attempt to treat it and ive finally come to the conclusion,on my own,that im never going to get over this and i am going to die in the next year or two(Per my doctor.),The only vestige i have is doing what i want and have been holding back on which is vagabonding/attempting to live as meager in the wild as possible,I have some experience but not much and its more or less been a fantasy of mine so i might as well do it before i am gone,nothing to lose... i did not post that for anyone to empathize with me,just to tell my situation so i may get adequate information and that i am not a totally irrational person... My main question really is,What book would be the best informative wise on fire starting,Bedding,Edible plants,Nat. Water filtering and the basics,i have gathered a pretty large notebook full of facts on these things over the years just for this occasion but i would like a reference in terms of a book as well... I will be heading south from PA and going to try to make it as far south as i can possible to Buenos Aires,going through Mexico and Central America on very little money(Yes i know,foolish but you have to look at it from my perspective)...I would rather die noble and on my own terms than a domesticated medicated rat(No disrespect)... So any literature(Pref. that i can get from a bookstore and not online) or other websites i should print things off from would be a tremendous help...thank you:) P.S. I am NOT looking for opinions on what to do with my life,I just want to know the information i inquired about,thanks.....

What do you think of a 27-year-old guy dating an 18-year-old girl who is a senior in high school?
What do you think of a 27-year-old guy dating an 18-year-old girl who is a senior in high school?
I'm 27, and I'm a lawyer who specializes in international contract arbitration. I make good money. A few months ago I hired a high school girl for an afterschool job to do simple things like stuff envelopes and sort the mail at my office. She brought in her sister one day, and whoa, that girl was just amazingly hot. We hit it off, and ended up having sex. She apparently wants to be my "girlfriend." Is this a good idea? For one thing, I am not monogamous. I visit Paris pretty often for business. I have a girl there, too. We're not dating (actually, she is married to an older guy), but she's my girl, and when I'm there, we always get together for sex and fun. I have a girl like this in Shanghai, too. I also have an ex-girlfriend who lives in Buenos Aires, and we still have sex sometimes. I'm not giving that up. Would an 18-year-old girl understand this arrangement? What are some difficulties I might encounter if I try to date a girl who is still in high school? I should mention that I also have an ex-wife, but we don't have sex anymore, because we hate each other.

Ya'll are at two COMPLETELY different stages in your life and it just doesn't match at all period. Do her a favor and end it.

Play on Playa.Chances are she wont understand,so dont tell her anything.Just date her for as long as it works out.
42 :
they aren't GF's, they're hookups
43 :
Sounds you have lived and had a good time. Why don't you leave her alone so she can do the same. A 18 year old, especially still in high school is not usually at a mature mental stage in her life do determine the difference between love and lust. I know my daughter who is almost 18 thinks that she is in love with every guy she goes out with for more than 3 dates. Then like most high school kids falls out of love when the next cute guy comes along. So I guess what I am saying is be careful you don't open up a can of worms you wish you would have left closed.
44 :
WOW.. So you are a Lawyer? I cannot believe you are actually on here asking for advice on this subject!!!! Leave the poor girl alone and tell her it is no longer appropriate to be involved with her. WTF is your problem. I am so very offended and reading everything you wrote makes me sick to my stomach. Have you ever heard of ummm STD's, getting people pregnant. Who do you think you are??? Seriously buddy, if you were a real man, Then grow up and do your f****n job!!

Ya'll are at two COMPLETELY different stages in your life and it just doesn't match at all period. Do her a favor and end it.

Play on Playa.Chances are she wont understand,so dont tell her anything.Just date her for as long as it works out.
42 :
they aren't GF's, they're hookups
43 :
Sounds you have lived and had a good time. Why don't you leave her alone so she can do the same. A 18 year old, especially still in high school is not usually at a mature mental stage in her life do determine the difference between love and lust. I know my daughter who is almost 18 thinks that she is in love with every guy she goes out with for more than 3 dates. Then like most high school kids falls out of love when the next cute guy comes along. So I guess what I am saying is be careful you don't open up a can of worms you wish you would have left closed.
44 :
WOW.. So you are a Lawyer? I cannot believe you are actually on here asking for advice on this subject!!!! Leave the poor girl alone and tell her it is no longer appropriate to be involved with her. WTF is your problem. I am so very offended and reading everything you wrote makes me sick to my stomach. Have you ever heard of ummm STD's, getting people pregnant. Who do you think you are??? Seriously buddy, if you were a real man, Then grow up and do your f****n job!!

Well, the number one thing that keeps immigrants feeling isolated is their fluency with English. So the first thing I would suggest would be to work on your language skills. May I suggest www.livemocha.com It is a free site that can help you learn many different languages, English included. It is also an online community, so there are plenty of people to practice with. Perhaps you should consider pursuing higher education on line as well. There are many online colleges, perhaps one of them might have a program that would suit your needs. Really to be a professional in the US, you need a college degree or you have to start on the ground floor when you are young and work your way up. At your age, furthuring your education is your best bet. If making money is not a priority, but staying active is, perhaps you should consider volunteering at a local museum, historic site, or a hospital.

Teach something-- Spanish, for example. Take dance lessons (tango is the obvious choice if you don't already know it) to meet people who are interested in your culture. Organize tours to Argentina with a travel agency. Work with ex-pats or businesses hoping to relocate to Argentina. Work with import-export firms who are importing products to or from Argentina.
6 :
You are as young as you want to be. You already have a good education from your country. You should go to the local community college and take an English as a Second Language Class. This really will help a great deal with communicating. You are still qualified to do what you were doing in your country. Translating it is what you need to work on. The class should be fairly inexpensive. Your english is better than you think it is. I understood you. Plus the counselors there will be more than happy to help you find what you want to do. Good Luck.

Malena, not all Americans are as close-minded as the ones you've -probably- met. Some are actually very friendly and welcoming, and realize that not all people who come from South America (or other countries) are uneducated. Many are even willing to learn some Spanish and to take the time to teach you some basic English. You just need to meet people. Join a gym; there are some for women only, where you can meet other ladies that may share some of your interests. Enroll in some classes at your community college; you'll meet other students there and might make some good friends. Don't worry about your age; it's never too late to learn a second language. I hope you reach a point where you feel this is your home. I felt exactly the way you feel now when I was very little. I've lived in three different countries, speaking three different languages (which I knew nothing about before moving there). As a child and teen, it is also very hard to feel out of place. Keep those spirits up! You can make friends if you go to the right places to find them. Maybe you could volunteer to teach Spanish to a group at your local community college? Just an idea.

Working abroad while vacationing?
Working abroad while vacationing?
I'm going to Buenos Aires for the winter, 2011. I was wondering if anyone has ever worked abroad while vacationing. I want to stay for the winter, but I'm not going to "party" and lie around for three months. I obviously need to make some money to support myself for that time. I'm expecting some random job working in a clothing store. Anyone had any experience in this department? To all the clowns out there, prostitution isn't an option, nor is it an original "funny" response.

Not a country on earth that allows people there as tourists to work. Laws are very strict, and employers do not want to pay the fines incurred if they hire someone without a work visa. To get a work visa, you must find an employer to hire you and verify he cannot find a Brazilian citizen to do the job. there are several hundred dollars in fees and it takes a while. Way to complicated, unlikely for you to get for a temp. job. You can contact the nearest Brazilian consulate in the U.S. to ask about work visas.
2 :
Charlie!!!! Buenos Aires is in Argentina NO BRAZIL!!! In theory you can't work legally under a tourist visa. There are a big "under the table" employment in Argentina, you can look for some casual works too (not prostitution!) but in a Clothing store is difficult because you are exposed all the time.
3 :
yes you can work here for the winter season. Another possibility is looking for some work related with english speaking or translates...But I really don't know. The real stuff is if you know spanish pretty well to work in a clothing store, check it before you come here. Good luck and I guess you will spend a cool winter in Bs As.

What is the cheapest city in the world to live when making money in USD?
What is the cheapest city in the world to live when making money in USD?
So, I am planning on visiting another country (perhaps permanently, if we fall in love with it) while maintaining my job in the USA (I work from home) I am married and have a four year old son. My first bit of research turned up many cities, with Buenos Aires on the top of the list. It's a cosmopolitan city with lots of offer. But is there some other place that provides ever cheaper living, with no reduction is quality of life? One requirement is that I need access to high-speed internet.

I've done a little research on this subject as well. Buenos Aires is a good idea, and although I hear prices have gone up there drastically in the last couple of years, it still seems to be a good option. If you like South America, Asuncion, Paraguay actually ranks as a cheaper place to live than BA, although it's a much smaller and probably less cosmopolitan city than BA. There are several places in South America, or parts of Asia where you could make a go of it fairly cheaply. Try googling 'mercer world cities cost of living 2008' or something like that. I believe The Economist magazine also frequently puts out cost of living data as well.

Lima - Peru, there are nice areas with good quality of life and you will have other opportunities for business because this country is growing.. and u can find everything right there.

Iloilo City Philippines. Tourist visas can be extended up to 14 months at a time. SSRV (retirement) visas can be obtained for perminant stays. Friendly english speaking people and great beaches and inland resorts. Many new shopping malls and good hospitals and doctors for quality medical care. Best value for your $ is asia.

Has anyone flown LAN Argentina from Miami to Buenos Aires? I've heard bad things about LAN.?
Has anyone flown LAN Argentina from Miami to Buenos Aires? I've heard bad things about LAN.?
Thinking of buying a ticket but not sure whether I should just pay the extra money for another airline since I've heard such terrible things. Is it really that bad? I'm flying out of DCA (Reagan) if that makes a difference...

2 :
Lan is a pretty good company, when I go home ( Milan-Italy to Buenos Aires) sometimes i fly via Madrid just to get Lan Chile to Santiago and then from there to Bs.As...
3 :
I agree with Maricris. I don't know who would possibly bad-mouth LAN. I fly them every chance I get. If you're used to flying the main U.S. airlines, you'll love LAN.... more seating space, better food, better service. I'm from Texas and live in Argentina and have taken the Miami to Bs.As. route and Miami to Santiago Chile route on LAN many times. They've always been great. As a matter of fact, many times, when you buy an American Airlines ticket, the flight is operated by LAN and vice versa. I'm always disappointed when I end up on an AA flight instead of a LAN flight. My advice is to try it, relax and enjoy the ride. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
