How much did your meal cost?

[Silvie]

Today I ordered an individual cheese pizza and sparkling water, the total was $ 14.700 plus tip.

Yes. Things are changing in Argentina but not quite sure if that’s unfortunate! Definitely not a gringo pensioners’ paradise any more!

According to the US Social Security Administration:


"The maximum benefit depends on the age you retire. For example, if you retire at full retirement age in 2024, your maximum benefit would be $3,822. However, if you retire at age 62 in 2024, your maximum benefit would be $2,710. If you retire at age 70 in 2024, your maximum benefit would be $4,873".

How many people wait until age 70 to retire? And do those with high retirement incomes retire to Argentina? Or are those with much lower incomes the ones more likely to retire to a poorer country in order to live better?

Why don't we stick to comments about restaurants and what meals cost? Some people might appreciate recommendations. Those retirees with $5,000 USD a month don't need this thread.
