We had to move to a different Airbnb house because the previous one was booked by someone else (despite a nationwide lockdown). The owner insisted that we pay three nights through the Airbnb platform, which cost almost as much as the cash price for the remaining nine days. With the higher daily price and losing my privilege of the master bedroom, I suddenly became more aware of the extra costs incurred by my profligate housemates, who a lot of things I don’t yet I am on the hook for paying for. When one made a 4,000 peso grocery trip to buy wine, salami, cheese, and 8 overpriced imported grapefruits, I made a decision that I would be responsible for my own meals and expenses. We settled up the expense sheet and without me cooking for them everyday, they figured out how to stretch that last subsidized grocery order. Meanwhile, I started a diet in which I cut alcohol and carbs, and began twice daily cardio in the home gym. I definitely let the diet go in the last week and traded pizza and ice cream for a final Sunday asado.
It was a bit more expensive to live in this house, but still under 14.50 USD per day for this period.
