career capital, and you can build and control your career for continuous growth and lifelong primary income. Consider your knowledge of personal finance, where your financial capital is anything that generates value or money for you, be it gold, shares, bonds or rental property. Now, apply this concept to your career. Career capital is what you build and own, which compounds over time and gives you increasing dividends in terms of pay, autonomy, status, responsibility and growth. Why, how & whom? Creating career capital means your ability to invest in yourself to ensure long-term employability. Start with asking yourself three key questions: why, how and whom? ‘Why’ is about discovering and articulating your identity, current motivation, career choices, and the energy and dedication you will bring to building career capital. Without this internal motivation, the career capital approach will fail for you. ‘How’ is about building skills and knowledge that are valuable in the market and can be converted into income. ‘Whom’ is about people and networks relevant to your career, and how they perceive and interact with you. From these, you can formulate the three pillars of career capital—skills, relationships and reputation —which also reinforce each other.

Brandolini formulated this insight after reading Daniel Kahneman’s book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, and watching a heated political debate on Italian TV. Having watched many TV debates in India, I fully sympathise with Brandolini. The nonsense does tend to flow freely in political debates on TV. However, that’s not what I want to discuss. Apart from TV, the rise of social media and its army of finfluencers have made this principle more relevant than ever.

In investing, the problem is exacerbated by an industry that actively encourages people to deceive themselves. This issue has become so pervasive that Sebi is starting to take serious action against it.

heirs. Second, how to balance the need for financial freedom with dependence on children during one’s lifetime. Third, how to provide for the care and comfort of the surviving spouse when one has passed away. The first question has been answered in an earlier column. Simplifying one’s finances is always a good policy in retirement, especially if one crosses the age of 80. There’s nothing sacrosanct about this number in this day and age, but simplification helps both the investor and his heirs. The first step is to complete any pending asset-related processes. Verify and update nominations, check and organise title deeds, consolidate multiple accounts and folios, close dormant accounts, dematerialise paper shares, and review joint holdings for proper operation. The second important step in estate planning for the elderly is making assets accessible to heirs. Many investors leave their children unaware of their assets, causing confusion after they pass away. Consolidate assets and record details, including e-mail and Internet banking access, in a notebook or spreadsheet for easy reference. With advancing age, either trust heirs with account details or ensure they can easily access them after one’s passing.
