Review of Reconfigurement

5 out of 5 stars

From the 1930s until recently, the average American life expectancy hovered around 60 years. Now, most live beyond 80 thanks to medical, nutritional, and surgical progress, extending retirement but also potential boredom. Carefully heeding E. Alan Fleischauer's guidance in Reconfigurement could prove a pivotal turning point for retirees seeking enrichment during this extended longevity.

What post-retirement plans do working-class retirees have—world travel, new careers? Why not opt for something more fulfilling? Financial counselor Alan E. Fleischauer, drawing from over 20 years of experience documented in his book, outlines alternative retirement paths. Follow his guidance, bridging tradition with truth, as he shares insights from countless client scenarios on reconfiguring retirement beyond globetrotting or job-switching to find deeper purpose and enrichment.

I admire how the author lightens this serious retirement planning subject with humor despite many mistakes. The sprinkling of funny quips and conversational tone forge a memorable, relatable message. Follow his confident, expertise-backed recommendations, and one cannot be misled. His informal yet authoritative voice guides readers toward an enriching retirement.

The inclusion of visuals enhances learning, catering to all ages. Thoroughly researched with cited facts and figures, the author delves into various insurance types, prompting further exploration. Providing links to assess strengths and weaknesses demonstrates a comprehensive approach. For these immersive, informative elements, this extensively educational work warrants a resounding 5 out of 5 stars.

The only thing I disliked about this book was its geographic specificity, with some unfamiliar regional terms limiting universal relatability—likely resonating best with US and UK audiences. However, the engaging elements outweighed this limitation, so a less-than-perfect rating felt unwarranted given the overwhelmingly positive experience.

Impeccably edited with no grammatical errors, this is highly recommended for seniors contemplating career shifts and those unsure about insurance coverage. Younger generations can also benefit from avoiding costly mistakes by better planning in advance with this comprehensive guide.

I like the idea of writing about what next? Not just after school but after retirement. I have seen people retired person whom are poor after years of working and it sad.

In 'Reconfigurement,' Alan E. Fleischauer presents a compelling case for redefining retirement as a period of personal growth and fulfillment rather than simply a time for leisure. With a wealth of experience and real-world examples, Fleischauer guides readers towards alternative paths that promise deeper satisfaction and meaning in their later years. A must-read for anyone approaching retirement age!"

I appreciate the concept of discussing what comes next, not just after school but also after retirement. It's disheartening to see retired individuals who are financially struggling after years of hard work.
