Career

I live in Kolkata. I have studied m.com, working as an accounts manager in a private company for last 10 years. I want to increase my income by doing any part time jobs. I am a 34 year old single woman with a dependent mother. don't know what will i do if my company suddenly close down . can you suggest any part time job or any other career option or professional courses for a better future.

Ans: Your concern is valid. I would recommend you to look at how you can up skill yourself if you believe that your current employer may shut down. Today, the value of skill based learning is extremely high and it would be ideal if you can take up courses in the field of Accounting & Cost Accounting that can help you upgrade your current skill-set. It could be understanding business sense & applying to companies with their Business Finance teams.

Money
I am 40 years old teacher, having 40 lakhs in FD and 2 lakhs in NSC, no debt and having property around 70 lakhs (Father's shop). No liability as I am single child of my parents. I am financially stable or I need to accumulate wealth.
Ans: Hi,

Financial stability needs to be defined for each individual based on their own preferences and perceptions.

You are a teacher and I assume you will continue your profession until retirement, this gives you opportunity to earn and save for future.

Your current investments are in a fixed income instruments which have the potential to only meet inflation needs for that amount. That means your money though increased over time will be having same purchasing power as it is today.
The property value in the future is a bit of difficult to estimate as it depends on many uncontrollable factors.
Hence we cannot determine if these amounts in the future are going to be able to meet your requirements without understanding your goals.

The approach you should follow is to look at what are your goals/requirements in life - during your working life and after retirement. This will require analysis of your current expenses and future goals to arrive at a corpus number.

A CFP can help you understand, plan and achieve this with a holistic financial plan. You will be provided with options and alternatives that are available and based on your profile/preferences, you will know what and how it can be achieved.
I recommend you take guidance form a CFP towards a holistic financial plan.

Thanks & Regards
