Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is a financial planning book. The author is very well conversant with financial planning as he has an MBA in the field. As the name suggests, this book is all about remodeling one's approach to finances for the present and future good. Getting old is inevitable, and getting ready in preparation for it takes excellent planning. One of the most important ways of ensuring a smooth transition from daily working to retirement involves financial planning at the earliest stages of one's career. And as one plans for retirement, enjoying the present life through relaxing in terms of financial constraints goes a long way.
Many aspects stand out in this book. While the discussion about finances may prove tedious to some individuals, the author has incorporated a sense of humor. This goes a long way in keeping one interested in reading more of the book. The author also attempts to spread out the information across the book to reduce the over-bulking of information. The author has also incorporated statistical data to back up his claims to show the reader the actual picture of why financial planning is crucial.
One of the aspects that I did not like about the book is its redundancy. Even though I appreciate that this could be an attempt to make a point sink, it was a little distracting. Despite the author making a disclaimer on the issue, I found it hard to excuse the constant digression. The book may also not be best suited for people living outside the US. This is because it makes most of its references to US financial laws. However, these were not so much to warrant a point deduction from the book's rating.
With the above sentiments, and considering that the book is exceptionally edited, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I love a book that has good statistical data to back it up. With the sensitivity of the topic being addressed, I found it quite fitting that the author did his homework in researching it. The negative aspects delineated were from a personal perspective.
I recommend this book to people mostly in their youthful life stage. This book will be an eye opener for them to view retirement differently and reconfigure their lives towards achieving ideal retirement benefits out of their sound planning. It is best suited for Americans, as most of the statistics and references to financial status are US-based.
