Review of Reconfigurement
Posted: 13 Sep 2022, 20:33
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
The majority of Americans today have a retirement plan in some way. Many spend a good deal of their life planning for the golden years, dreaming of relaxation, travel, and blissful days of no longer working for a boss. But in reality, the plan often turns into just enough to barely survive in the post-retirement period of life. The hard truth is that many individuals will have to continue full-time employment long after the age of retirement in order to survive.
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is a book that addresses new retirement strategies and focuses on less traditional planning. Mr. Fleischauer explains the term “reconfigurement” to mean a turning point in one’s life, a time when one turns from having hopes and dreams to actually living those dreams. It is a method of reconfiguring your retirement plan into a workable plan for the future.
This book is a valuable guide in planning for the future. It gives a good deal of excellent advice for financial planning, and I took quite a few notes throughout the book, anxious to put the advice into practice. I appreciate the author’s style of writing. His style flows as though he’s having a conversation with the reader, and I often felt as though he was having a chat with me over a cup of coffee. I particularly like how the chapters are divided by topic and offer practical advice as well as product or website recommendations for resources. I especially enjoyed the links offered for personality and career aptitude assessments.
I’m not sure that the author had any new, earth-shattering ideas to give for a guaranteed successful retirement, but I found the material he offered as practical and worthwhile. There was one thing I did not enjoy about this book, however. His frequent puns had a tendency to be annoying, as well as the occasional joke that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic. I imagine this was the author’s way to lighten up a usually serious subject, but I found it more distracting than anything.
I came across only a handful of minor grammatical errors in this book, making it easy to read. There was no profanity. Even though I found the jokes throughout the book to be a distraction, I realize that is a personal preference, and therefore, I give Reconfigurement four out of four stars as it is indeed a well-written book full of valuable information for retirement planning. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to adequately plan for the future and would enjoy an easy read packed full of beneficial financial planning advice.
