Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is a nonfiction book on re-configuring financial planning, choosing a career, enjoying work life before retirement, and preparing for life after retirement. The book is short and comprehensive focusing on finance management. The author talks about budgeting and saving for the life after retirement which has considerably lengthened due to medical advancements.
The author shares his experience of re-configuring his own life after having a stroke and motivates others to learn from his mistakes of not planning at an earlier age. The author also discusses the effects of the pandemic on working patterns and has provided some useful resources for readers working from home or starting their businesses.
There is nothing I dislike about the book. The book is an enjoyable read, and I was amazed by the author’s sense of humor and his captivating writing style. I like the inclusion of lists/resources in almost every chapter to encourage readers to learn more about financial planning. I like the career assessments and the idea of finding one’s strengths and weaknesses that may help someone choose the right career path. I also enjoyed learning about the author’s own experience and how he shares examples from the life of people around him to justify his points.
The author has provided useful information about USA financial systems like social security, retirement plans, social and health care plans, life insurance, and investment funds. However, I guess it would be helpful for non-US readers as many countries share similar financial structures. At least it would inspire the readers to research and find what is available to them locally.
The book has been edited well, and I only found a few mistakes that did not hinder my reading experience. I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars for the above reasons. I recommend the book to young adults studying at university or entering the workforce as it could help them reconfigure their career choices. The book is also helpful to those already in the workforce as they may find out if they are the right fit for the job they are in or if they need to reconfigure their job.
The book is mainly aimed at helping people to prepare for life after retirement which has dramatically changed in recent years. Now the person retiring at age 65 may not be old enough to leave the work altogether so they may start another job/career or pursue something which they are good at or have always wanted to do. Overall, the book is an enlightening and fun read with lots of useful information.
