A mongering budget estimate

[Cowpie]

Here's a breakdown of a budget in US $ that I try to follow when visiting Bs. As. I usually stay for 2 weeks (14 days) and try to stay under $2000 USD.

Flight: $66 (I use my FF miles on either Delta, American, or LAN) otherwise.

$1000

Bus: $21 (from airport to Centro, from Centro to Airport) take Manuel Tienda Leon to TERMINAL MADERO (Av. Madero esq. San Martín) 40 pesos each way. It takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. I understand there is also a regular city bus, the number 8 (ex-86) running between Ezeiza and the city; the fare is US$0.45/1.50 pesos, it takes about 2 hours.

Apartment: $40 / day, I know of 4-5 clean and safe apartments in.

The vicinity of Paraguay and Maipu.

Food: $6/ day fast food + 6/ day at the grocery store. Bread, vegetables,

Lunch meat, hamburger, beer, or wine) basic stuff.

Taxi: $3/ day to go back and forth from Centro to Recoleta, I take the bus.

There and taxi back.

Laundry: $5/ week.

Internet: $1/ day.

Mongering: $30/ day when just looking for chicas, drinks $120 peso.

$100/ day when banging a chica (200-250 pesos for the chica,.

Drinks 150 pesos)

Entertainment: I like to go to the casino, the last 3 visits to be. A. I averaged.

Winning about $1000per trip.

Totals: $66 flight plus exit fee $25 plus $21 Bus.

$480 I have a deal with a guy that rents the apartments, and if I.

Stay for 7 days he deducts 1 day, so I stay 14 days and pay for.

12 @ 40.

$168 - $12/ day X 14 days.

$10 - 2 weeks.

$14 - 14 days.

$30 - 10 trips to Recoleta.

$120 - 4 days no fucking just looking. I'm too old to fuck 14 days.

In a row, usually 3 on and 1 day off (3,1,3,1,3,1,2)

1000 - 10 days of fucking, 1 a day is all I need, like I said I'm old.

$1934 + or - your particular situation or likes.

If I were to lived there full time, I'd cut back on the fucking to probably 10 times a month, which means I would have to double the rent, food, taxi, and non mongering cost, so add 480, 168, 10, 14, 30 and 120 to 1934

Which = 2757 + or -.

* I think your food budget is extremely low. That would be like going to italy and eating at Mc Donalds. For me lunch and dinner are a big deal in BA.

$30 on food a day is what I spend.

Mongering: $30/ day when just looking for chicas, drinks $120 peso.

$100/ day when banging a chica (200-250 pesos for the chica,

Drinks 150 pesos)

* Before I comment please explain what spending $30 "just looking" for chicas means?

Again you are willing to spend 200 to 250AR on a chica 150 on drinks but you only spend how much on food?

Entertainment: I like to go to the casino, the last 3 visits to be. A. I averaged.

Winning about $1000per trip.

* What's your strategy? How much do you have to lose to win $1000?

Totals: $66 flight plus exit fee $25 plus $21 Bus.

$480 I have a deal with a guy that rents the apartments, and if I.

Stay for 7 days he deducts 1 day, so I stay 14 days and pay for.

* There are some good deals out there you just need to find them. Hopefully you don't have to put a large cash deposit down.

Interesting budget but it seems at 200/250AR per session you give up alot of other things.

I'm looking for privados between 60 and 120 AR for 30/40 min.

How many are there at the moment?

Inflation is making mongering much more difficult than say 6 or 7 years ago.

Now days I figure at least $150 USD per day, plus air fare, plus housing.

Its not a cheap hobby anymore, but there certainly cheap mongers.

Following is just for information for fellow mongers. Not open to debate as the figures below are factual

Airfare: USD 1000, JFK~BA~JFK on LAN. Cheaper fares available on Mexicana and Taca but the timings/schedules of the flights did not suit me.

Locomotion: used only taxis for 2 months. No subte or bus. Did walk distances as and when I felt in the mood. Spent approximately US$ 1000 for 2 months including to-fro airport. These prices are prior to increase of taxi rates.

Food: US$ 1200 for 2 months including eating out as and when I felt like and ate whatever I felt like ( no compromises) or eating eat home from the groceries bought at supermarkets.

Pussy: Spent 11940 ARS or 3142 us$ in 2 months. Had sex with 55 different chicas (no repeats) Average price per chica 57 us$ or 217 ARS. Almost 80% experiences were excellent. About 5% was money wasted. About 15% were just average experiences. Almost 80% of my experiences were in medium or high budget privados. First one week and last week of the trip had almost 2 chicas a day. In between the trip of 2 months , i got bored of over- fucking and stopped fucking entirely for sometime!

Medical : Ended up spending almost 1200 ARS on few small things in 2 months such as bad cough, dental issues. I found this particular expenditure to be a waste of money. It would be prudent to indulge in a Argentine medical insurance if one is a regular visitor.

Notes: I do not spend much money on drinks as I am just a occasional social drinker. I never do any shopping in Argentina. I did not indulge much in high end boliches in this trip.I never traveled out of BA in 2 months (a shame really!). I am not much of a foodie.
