Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement was the brainchild of E. Alan Fleischauer in an effort to attract readers who ought to be considering their financial situation after retirement. The concerns covered in this 13-chapter book are ones that retirees or those who are close to retiring would have neglected to address. Fleischauer gradually makes you aware of the realities associated with being a retiree by uncovering more in each chapter than the one before it, inducing a sort of epiphany. Reconfigurement is comprehensive, succinct, and—my favorite part—has a lot of jokes.
The writing style that the author employs throughout this book is excellent in general. First and foremost, I appreciate that the author took the time to provide us with some hearty laughs. Amazingly, the jokes were strategically positioned so that they would immediately appear when I started to feel bored and lighten my mood. I felt really good. Additionally, the author is aware—as I am—that not every reader of this book is an expert in financial matters and money management. In order to make them easier for us laypeople to understand, Fleischauer came up with some amusing ways to simplify them. I value your effort.
Reading Reconfigurement was a lot of fun. Despite the fact that this book is about money and money is all about numbers, there was one aspect in particular that bothered me: I believed there was an excessive amount of it. I mean, the book would have made sense even without knowing the percentage of people who employed a given management technique a hundred years ago. In this present age and time, and as someone needing "reconfigurement," all I would really want are solutions to my financial problems, not some statistics that I would probably forget before the chapter was over. Once more, this is only my opinion.
This book receives a rating of 4 out of 4 stars from me. While there were a few typos scattered throughout the book and the aforementioned aspect that I didn't like, it didn't stop me in any way from enjoying it.
Although the author intended this book for retirees, I believe that younger age groups can benefit from it as well. You may not require "reconfigurement" for your life as you haven’t reached retirement age right now, but you may require it to begin planning your career or choose a different work path that you both enjoy and will pay the bills with. People from age 30 and above can learn a lot from this book and start the process of "reconfiguration" at a much younger age.
