Review of Reconfigurement
Alan Fleischauer’s 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 talks about reconfiguring your life and planning ahead. Reading this book made me pause and think—we really need to plan for our future. A retirement plan is one, and it makes sense. It is true that we have different perceptions when we hear the word "retirement plan." Some may say it's necessary, but others like me (before reading this book) are asking, "is it worth it?". This book proved it is. Fleischauer also mentioned that the most important asset we should possess is the ability to earn income. And at this stage of our lives, we should consider that changing jobs and becoming disabled are possible. That’s why we should also consider career assessments, which will give us an idea of our strengths and the kinds of jobs that fit us. Aside from retirement plan and career assessments, the author also explains in detail the importance of investing, life protection, disability insurance, and health insurance in our life later on.
At first, I was a little hesitant to read this book since its ideal reader is aged 40 to 50 and I am only 24, but it’s actually worth reading. It made me realize that, as early as this age, I should not only focus on the present but also consider what’s ahead. Aside from Fleischauer’s well-thought-out overview, what I love about this book is his sense of humor. We can’t deny that topics like this are not really appealing (for most of us, I guess). But because of the author’s witty remarks and jokes he kept inserting in the middle of a serious discussion, the book seemed so absorbing and fun. I also like the fact that the author wrote this book in a conversational manner. Reading this feels like I am listening to a lecture in a classroom, but in an interesting way. It’s like you’re learning while having a good time. He also delivered his thoughts simply and clearly, which is a plus for non-financially literate readers.
One thing I noticed while reading this book is that the author sometimes keeps on mentioning not-so-important details. It’s not a big deal, though; it doesn’t make the book confusing. And I don’t see any errors in this book.
The 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 is a book guide for planning and reconsidering what we should do "now" because what’s "ahead" is also important. I can say I have learned so much from reading it. I will give this a solid 5 out of 5 rating.
I recommend this book not only for people 40 to 50 years old (as the book suggests) but also for anyone of any age who is interested in reconfiguring and planning ahead for retirement. I guarantee you that this book will serve as an eye-opener for a better retirement plan result. Happy reading!
