Are you saying I could live on 10 USD a day in Argentina, including renting a room, and eating food? How much for Internet access? That'd be a cheap retreat at ~1000 USD for 3 months (assuming a 3 month vacation VISA).
I've just returned from Morocco, where the cheapest backpacker hostel bed was around $5. I never stayed in one, they're probably not too nice, but would include linen and cleaning. A small loaf of bread was about 10¢, fruit or lentils similarly cheap. This is how teenage/student Europeans (mostly) can afford year-long holidays before or during university.
Argentina looks to be about twice as expensive for a bed, for a tourist, so I don't know if $10 is doable for three months — there might be restrictions on foreigners renting, for example.
Nope, I didn't say that. I said that that is the minimum wage, but that doesn't mean that those people a life you'd want.
A great deal would be considered poor but US/EU standards, and live in rather poor zones, lack internet access, natural gas or running water (eg: my grandparents have water pumps to get underground waters at home, because that's their only choice).
Several millon people (literally) work in Buenos Aires City, but don't live in the city, and have 1-2 hour trips (one-way trip) to work every day.
If you want to stay in a large city, in a relatively safe area, you'd need trice that sum.
