Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
E. Alan Fleischauer is a certified financial planner with about 20 years of experience behind him, and his company, Fleischauer Financial Management Inc. (FFM), has provided advice and assisted with retirement planning for numerous individuals. The subject of the book, Reconfigurement, is how to make a crucial shift in your life when you reach a significant turning point. In other words, it all comes down to seizing the chance presented by that situation to bring about a change. It goes into details on a variety of topics and how they relate to retirement, including how to set yourself up for a solid income, how to secure that income, how to deal with difficulties like inflation, taxes, and potential investment alternatives, and how to cope with all of these things.
I think we haven't really sat down to think about the "what's your number approach" that is mentioned on page 10 of this book, despite its being a widely held concept. The hope that their hard-earned money will last them throughout their retirement drives people to work like elephants to save anything, and then, after amassing it, they eat like ants. As a result, the person receives a reward that isn't truly commensurate with the level of effort expended. This book's core theme is the necessity of planning, something a lot of people don't seem to do enough of. While stressing to the reader that planning is a crucial component of retirement preparation, it questions our conventional understanding of retirement.
I loved the author's approach to this subject; it was one that was lighthearted and enjoyable for readers. The tone helps build the scene and puts the reader in a better frame of mind to absorb what is being addressed because money-related topics are typically sensitive for many people. I was much better able to understand this book because of the author's use of humor. It made a book that, in all likelihood, would have been dull without it, a little more entertaining.
Everyone should be able to choose how they want to organize their lives, in my opinion, but that does not mean that you should be obstinate in your convictions. You should feel confident enough in your knowledge to consider other people's viewpoints. You would gain a more positive perspective on everything if you did this. Even though I didn't agree with all of the author's claims, I did learn something new and acquire some new perspective on what retirement could entail. For the aforementioned reasons and the fact that I have nothing against it, I would give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.
Though this book mentioned that the ideal reader would be aged between 40 and 50 years, I believe it wouldn't hurt for the younger generations to go through it as they're bound to learn something, and at the very least, they can see options available to them down the road. Because I think it's never too early to start thinking about retirement, I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 25 who earns a living.
