Saving or Investing? It Depends on When You Need the Money

People often ask me, "Should I save or invest?" My answer is always another question: when do you need the money?

That one question settles most of the decision. Not your age, not what your friends are doing, not what the market did last month. Just the date.

How to Build an Emergency Fund When Your Income Isn't Fixed

"Save three to six months of expenses." Easy to say if you get the same salary on the same day every month. Much harder if you drive for a ride app, run a small shop, farm, freelance for foreign clients, work in construction, or depend on remittance that doesn't always come on time.

Most people in Nepal fall into that second group. A huge share of the workforce is informal, seasonal or self-employed. So this post is for them: people whose income goes up and down and who still want a safety net.

A Monthly Budget You'll Actually Stick To

I've started and abandoned more budgets than I can count. The ones that failed had one thing in common: they described the person I wished I was, not the person I actually was. Rs 3,000 a month for food? Sure, on paper. In real life, by the 12th I'd already gone over and given up on the whole thing.

A budget that works is boring and honest. It's built on what you really spend, it includes the things you'd rather forget about (hello, Dashain), and it leaves a little room for fun so you don't rebel against it.

Here's how I build one now, step by step.

Managing Money in Nepal: Where I'd Start If I Were Starting Over

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.

SIP in Equity Shares: How to Build a Long-Term Stock Investment Strategy in Nepal

When most people hear the term SIP (Systematic Investment Plan), they immediately think of mutual funds.

The idea is simple: invest a fixed amount at regular intervals—usually every month—and continue investing for the long term. Instead of trying to predict the perfect time to enter the market, investors build discipline by investing consistently.

Drupal module Security Kit

Drupal Security Kit (Seckit) is a module designed to enhance the security of Drupal websites by providing various security features and configurations. It aims to mitigate common security risks and vulnerabilities associated with Drupal websites, ensuring a more robust and secure online presence.

Features:

Content Security Policy (CSP) Integration:

Seckit integrates with Content Security Policy (CSP), allowing administrators to define and enforce policies to mitigate the risks of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

Administrators can configure CSP directives to specify trusted sources for various types of content, such as scripts, stylesheets, images, fonts, and more.

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) Support:

The module facilitates the implementation of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers, ensuring that web browsers enforce secure connections over HTTPS.

Administrators can configure HSTS parameters, including the max-age directive and the inclusion of subdomains.

X-Content-Type-Options Header Configuration:

Blank page on NextJs project even every code was right - culprit was browser extension

 I was working on some Nextjs projects where I have to show the Ads services content, so I created a file called ads-services.js under the pages folder of the NextJs project.

Then, I added the code something like the below:

 

Built it and run it in the browser and everything is blank, cannot see anything.

Found solution after 1/2 hour, either I have to disable the Adblocker extension used in the browser or need to change the ads-service.js file name to something live management-services.js
