Review of Reconfigurement
The book, Reconfigurement by E Alan Fleischauer, is a well-written and exceptionally well-edited work that offers insightful advice on how finances should be managed for someone to achieve financial independence in their later years. Reconfigurement focuses on the motion of planning ahead and the several avenues one can take to ensure they have a stress-free life past their working age and when they are in their retirement age. This book explores the idea that there isn't really a retirement age, and that people can still work past the traditional retirement age. As mentioned in the book, there are several avenues one should consider before retiring, such as life insurance, disability insurance, health insurance, 401(k)s, social security and trust funds.
This book was a refreshing change from your typical financial planning books due to its structure and writing. That was one of the things I liked most. I didn't feel as if I was just being lectured on facts. The writing was conversational. Throughout this book, I felt engaged and even a few jokes were thrown here and there. They provided a good laugh.
The book also provided in-depth information on several financial plans and several different concepts. For individuals who are unsure about what field they should enter when considering a career change, there were a lot of online resources available that were mentioned in this book. Furthermore, the assessments mentioned were extremely helpful in determining and pinpointing a person's strengths.
I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. This was an extremely informative and compelling piece of writing.It was also quite thought-provoking. In addition to thinking about my career plans, it made me think about what I should look for when comparing the benefits provided by possible jobs. The author’s wording had a way of deterring me from boredom. I liked that this book did not discourage readers regardless of their age from thinking about their retirement or finances. Additionally, it encouraged career changes that would benefit any age’s finances and income.
This book is aimed at older readers but it should be equally valuable to younger readers. Financial planning particularly during retirement should start as early as possible. As a result of reading this book, younger generations can plan for their futures and this will help them in their retirement years. I would also recommend this book to anyone who is worried about their financial future and doesn’t know what to do.
