Most money advice online is written for people in the US or India. It talks about credit scores, 401(k)s and investing apps we don't even have here. So I'm starting this series with the basics, written for how money actually moves in a Nepali household: a salary or a small business, remittance from a brother in Qatar, a loan from the cooperative, Dashain shopping, and relatives who need help when something goes wrong.
None of this is complicated. The hard part is doing it in the right order. Plenty of people open a Demat account before they have even Rs 10,000 set aside for emergencies, and then they're forced to sell shares at a loss the first time someone in the family gets sick.
If I had to start from zero again, this is the order I'd go in.
