Review of Reconfigurement

[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
The idea of retirement is extremely significant and has no geographical bounds. I think this idea has been revitalized by E. Alan Fleischauer.
E. Alan Fleischauer is a well-known financial management expert in addition to an award-winning poet and writer. With years of expertise in the financial industry, the author offers readers guidance and innovative financial ideas for creating better retirement plans in his book, Reconfigurement: Reconfiguring Your Life at Any Stage and Planning Ahead. Those who want to make big changes in their lives will find this book to be an ideal resource.
The author emphasizes the differences between traditional and contemporary perspectives on employment and retirement. Traditional thinking on retirement places a strong focus on a clean break between work and play and on saving and investing money. Modern viewpoints, on the other hand, are more adaptable and diverse, reflecting shifting personal goals and economic realities. In his opinion, it is a wise decision to restructure life's financial plans in light of the shifting market conditions of today.
The average life expectancy is rising, according to the author's data; therefore, retirement savings must last longer than originally projected. He also discusses the trend in employment where people are looking for flexible or part-time work as they get older, often into their 70s and 80s. Alan has cleared the path for improved retirement plans that incorporate financial, personal, and professional goals to greatly aid the masses.
I respect Alan's critique concerning the traditional definition of "old," which was established in the 1930s by German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. He introduced the social security system, which defined the retirement age, but here the author cleverly demonstrates how the 20th century has brought about changes to this notion of "being old." He skillfully uses brief chapters to define concepts such as life planning, job path, health and well-being, financial planning, and community involvement, which I found particularly impressive. He put all of his might and intelligence into enabling people to design a happy, sustainable retirement lifestyle.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is approaching 40. When considering their employment alternatives and making plans, younger generations can also greatly benefit from this. This helpful manual has been expertly edited and produced. There was not a single typo error that I noticed. The language is simple to understand, and the brief chapters keep readers interested from beginning to end. Additionally fascinating is the cover page. Although I felt that he used humour too much, it makes perfect sense that he did so to keep people interested. I consider myself lucky to have discovered this masterpiece, as I approach my 40s. It gave me hope that I still have time and resources to reorganize my finances and life. I would rate it five stars out of five.
