I have always had the innate feeling that we were born to work. From the moment we are born, we work to get our parents to understand us, to do some house chores for allowances. When we hit the bill-paying age, we work to keep roofs over our heads, put food on our tables, and light up our homes. After this endless cycle, our bodies break down, and we age; ushering in the inevitable aspect of retirement.

To say that every person plans for retirement is a huge overstatement of the century. We all work for the necessities, and we forget that old age is closely beckoning. In a weird way; life expectancy for an average person has risen from a mere 30 years to a whopping 70 years. This translates to more years to live, and more food and medical expenses to be met. Sadly, there is little to no income to supplement these new needs. E. Alan Fleischauer, a certified and well-experienced financial advisor, breaks down this technical, albeit very necessary aspect of life. He has made it his calling in life to help people to reconfigure their plans and lifestyles in order to fit their current lives and additional future years.

The author addresses tons of information concerning one’s employment, career, inheritance, and retirement. These issues span through a person’s lifetime and have to be critically addressed to ensure successful living standards. In a subtle manner, this book addresses an American audience as most of the technical terms are related to its governmental, federal, and healthcare systems. Moreover, I feel this book can be applied elsewhere as long as the reader substitutes the American System with their own national system. The author heavily insists in working in a form of career that they appreciate and love. The book is written in a conversational tone that is inviting to read. A good dose of short stories and jokes help to distract from the austere nature of the book.

There is no negative aspect in the book. It has been simply written, and the reader feels involved in the learning process. Fleischauer has invested his time in conducting proper research, in some aspects he may lack information. The book does not have errors, hence it is exceptionally well-edited. The author’s own experience plays an integral part in the writing of this book. I am happy to rate this book four out of four stars.

Reconfigurement is suitable for an audience of finance enthusiasts, employers, and working people. This book is highly educative and is very useful in day-to-day life.
