Questions & Answers about Siempre administro bien el capital.

Why is it el capital instead of la capital?
In Spanish, the meaning of capital changes depending on its gender. El capital refers to money, financial assets, or investments, which fits this context perfectly. La capital refers to a capital city (like Bogotá or Mexico City).
How would I turn this phrase into a mixed conditional sentence (past condition, present result)?
To say something like 'If I hadn't managed the capital well, we would have no money today,' you would use the past perfect subjunctive for the past condition and the conditional simple for the present result: Si no hubiera administrado bien el capital, hoy no tendríamos dinero.
Can I place the adverb at the end and say Siempre administro el capital bien?
You could, and it would be understood, but placing an adverb of manner like bien immediately after the verb (administro bien) is much more natural and common in Spanish. It keeps the action and its description tightly linked.
Is it okay to include the pronoun yo and say Yo siempre administro bien el capital?
You can, but leaving it out is usually better. At this level, you know subject pronouns are often dropped. Including it here would add strong emphasis, which you'd only use if you were specifically contrasting yourself with someone else who manages funds poorly.
