Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
RECONFIGUREMENT is a book about retirement planning. Planning, is set as the basis of reconfiguring one’s life. In particular, financial planning and career optimization are the keys to preparation for retirement. There are many options offered in line with reconfigurement, including and not limited to; personal assessment, life insurance, investing, and health insurance. Personal assessment pertains career satisfaction and overall financial upgrading. Life insurance touches on the options available for life cover, such as social security funds. Investing offers options available in the mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
E. Alan Fleischauer, a financial and retirement consultant, dissects life insurance, investing, and health insurance into the various available options in the United States of America. For example, he explains the social security fund, bonds, and medicare in detail so that by the end of each topic, you are aware of the variety, pros, and cons associated with each category. The author sets each option on the table with deep explanations and quotes various sources of information with no doubt of the accuracy of this information. The reader is left to choose the options that suit their retirement needs.
One aspect I loved about the book is that it gives various options for each category of retirement planning the reader might choose with sufficient information such that the reader need not seek further clarification unless confirming the sources quoted.
I disliked a few aspects of the book, the first being that it has a lot of financial jargon that a reader may not quite understand and may get bored with the bland explanations associated with financial matters. The second aspect was the author’s declaration on various occasions that implied boredom in his book, for example, that he is allowing the reader to skip a chapter and to take a nap. I think that no matter how tedious reading a book is, the reader is motivated to read by its content, and such phrases from the author tend to arouse boredom in an intrigued reader.
This book is perfect for readers in their fifties approaching the retirement age. All readers within the working bracket would also benefit more as financial planning is more effective if done earlier in life. However, the vast reference to the American state and federal policies and requirements might put off non-American readers.
I found no typos or grammatical errors, showing that the book was exceptionally well edited. I generally enjoyed how informative the book was for me and therefore find the value gained outweighs the negative aspects. With these aspects aligned, I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
