Can I live in Argentina on $1,500 a month?

Yes, comfortably in most of the country. $1,500 a month sits well above CostLiving’s budget benchmark for Argentina of $1,005 per person and about $175 short of the moderate benchmark of $1,675, so a solo person lands somewhere between careful and comfortable depending on the city. The gap is mostly Buenos Aires: the capital runs $2,025 a month at the moderate tier, so $1,500 there means a mid-tier barrio like Flores or Caballito rather than Palermo, and more parrilla than fine dining. Move to an interior city like Rosario or Córdoba and the same money covers a moderate lifestyle with room left over, since rents drop to $300 to $500 for a one-bed. Two caveats: prices in pesos still move with inflation, so dollar earners hold the advantage, and imported goods (electronics, some clothing brands) cost more than the headline figures suggest.
