MONEY AND FINANCE

The Federal Government has a variety of resources to help you learn how to manage and save your money. It is also important to pay taxes on the income you earn. Taxes pay for services provided by the Federal Government. Some of these services include keeping our country safe, educating children and adults, and providing medical services to the poor and elderly. You will also find information on how to purchase items such as appliances and cars.

Unfortunately, there are people and organizations that may try to take advantage of you and your money. The Federal Government has laws to protect against this. Federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission have developed educational materials that will help you make sound financial decisions and alert you to be

aware of potential scams. We hope this information is useful as you begin to live and work in the United States.
