With our muses locked and loaded, virtual assistants and outsources on auto pilot- it’s time to party! Most of my peeps head south of the Equator this time of year to enjoy long summer days. While our muses are ticking away in all their outsourced glory we’re keeping the sun shining. Last year it was Punta- this year it’s Buenos Aires, then on to Rio for the New Year’s parties. Wintering like old money! [...] [...] Winter is approaching in North America which means summer is on its way for the New Jet Set.

Mini-retirements are priceless and really make you feel alive. I began implementing these at about 29 yo. I'm 33 now. And since Tim's book, mini-retirements are exceedingly more accessible. My wife loves it, as do my two kids. They learn more in a week traveling through Mexico than they do in a month at school. Few people realize how easy and inexpensive it is to retire these days! To them, I say read the 4HWW! Thanks Tim! This is by far the most inspiring section of the blog. Mini-retirements are priceless and really make you feel alive.

Ive used your tips to look at apartments, and one thing I noticed.... I recognized the apartment in your video here: http://www.ba4uapartments.com.ar/newsite/02_speedo.html Its listed at $1200 - have they raised their rates in response to any new inquiries you might have sent, or is it good to bargain against the published rates? thanks :) ### Hi James, Thanks for the comment. The prices have gone up in Buenos Aires quite substantially (all things, not just apartments), but $1,200 for this apartment per month is still a good deal. It's super central, in a safe neighborhood, and two blocks from the major subway line and shopping, with security, full broadband, cable TV, prepaid local calls, etc. Here's how I slice it: 5-star hotel will be $200-400 USD per night. This apartment has a better location than most hotels (real neighborhood vs. finance or business zone) and is around $250 per week. There are much cheaper places in BsAs, for sure, but I personally like Ralf, as there is no nonsense and he takes care of everything. Have fun! Tim Hey Tim-
