Money & Taxes Retirement basics — your 401(k) and the Roth IRA A 401(k) is a retirement account through your employer — if they match your contribution, that match is part of your pay, so not taking it is leaving salary behind. A Roth IRA is a retirement account you open yourself, where money you already paid tax on grows tax-free. 
Money & Taxes Your first US brokerage account — index funds without the jargon A brokerage account is where you buy investments like index funds. Opening one takes minutes; the habit that actually builds wealth is boring: the same amount, into a broad index fund, every month, left alone for years. 
Money & Taxes Building US credit from zero A bank account does not build your credit score — but a secured credit card used responsibly does. Expect it to take months, not days, and ignore anyone who offers to "fix" or "boost" credit for a fee. 
Money & Taxes Reporting your Nepal bank accounts (FBAR & FATCA) If you're a US person (citizen, green-card holder, or US tax resident) and you keep money in Nepal (or any foreign country), you may legally have to report those accounts to the US government — FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) and possibly FATCA (Form 8938). Reporting an account is not the same as being taxed on it — but failing to report when required carries serious penalties. 
Money & Taxes Filing US taxes as an F-1 / J-1 student Most F-1/J-1 students are treated as nonresident aliens for tax in their early years and file Form 1040-NR — and almost everyone must file *something*, even with no US income (Form 8843). Mainstream consumer tax software often files you wrongly as a resident — use a nonresident-aware option. Money tools
