Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
According to research conducted by E. Alan Fleischauer, many Americans are blindsided by the challenges of retirement, and the shortcomings of the systems meant to usher people out of the workforce. Increasingly more retirees find themselves in need of employment after they are meant to stop working, and with fewer opportunities than ever, the struggle to stay afloat when the benefits of one’s hard work are exhausted takes a toll on the mind and body. For the readers of this book, the future doesn’t have to be so scary or uncertain, and with some planning, the blissful dreams of a fulfilling retired life can be made true.
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleishauer covers nearly every retirement question imaginable. The author compels the reader to devote as much time to their plans for retirement as they would to building their careers, because life does not simply end after the last day on the job, and with the world changing so quickly, there’s no guarantee how long one might end up living post-retirement. With adequate savings and proper planning, this period of life can be as pleasant and fulfilling as the reader imagines. To help, the author provides a wealth of information on the subject and many more external resources that will lead the reader to a better understanding of their position and prospects. That said, this is quite a dense book, and it would be best consumed with patience and commitment.
Most of all, I liked how detailed and organized this book was, successfully demystifying the retirement process, and bestowing valuable information about insurance, social security and investments on the reader. At the end of this book, they are bound to be better prepared for retirement and life after. And there was nothing I disliked about this book otherwise.
The writing was very approachable, especially for such a potentially daunting subject. It was jovial and conversational, but also straight to the point. The inclusion of the personal experiences of others who have walked the path of retirement brought credibility to the author’s message and urgency to the subject. While I did come across some minor errors, I believe this book was edited professionally as well.
My rating of Reconfigurement is four out of four stars, and I would highly recommend this book to people who might be retiring soon. It is never too early to start planning, and as the author says, the earlier the better. Though it is doubtful that anyone without significant time in the workforce would find the contents of this book particularly appealing or interesting, there is something to be learnt all the same.
Besides the use of some borderline profanity, this book contains no age-restricted material.
