Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer, is one of those typical books about personal finance as well as planning for the future but what sets it aside from the rest is that it redefines life for the elderly as a whole, in terms of making smart choices as far as life style is concerned, as they near retirement. As a financial planning method, reconfigurement is a start to simplifying the lives of the elderly in America, especially since the life expectancy in the country has increased from 65% to over 80% bringing about the urgency to maintain a healthy and happy life through smart planning.
The author also mentions that reconfigurement is some how a turning point for many, and even though the book is specifically written for the American community, it's still a wise decision for anyone, whether in or outside America, to read it for the knowledge it carries with in its pages. Read on to understand the importance of the subject matter in context, better.
E. Alan Fleischauer is a certified financial and retirement planner who has a lot of experience in the complex world of global finance. Having worked previously as a financial services executive, merchant banker and venture capitalist, he has a much more informed perspective towards the topic in question. Due to his passion in helping others, he founded his own financial advisory firm for individuals as well as small business owners. He is also a husband, father, an entrepreneur, well as a small business owner himself, which in a way has prepared him well enough for the job he does.
I truly appreciate the topic at hand given the fact that it’s the kind of subject matter that many could choose to ignore but yet very important since many can later discover that their livelihood depends on it as the world continues to change.
Fleischuaer did a great job by adding a little humor to it, and this helped to soften the topic just enough for any reader to remain interested as serious topics some times tend to create a sense of boredom. For example, in Chapter One, page 13, he describes 20 year olds as kids and not adults. He also calls some retirees "couch potatoes," which I found hilarious.
The book is also thorough and straight to the point, which makes it possible for any reader to understand reconfigurement as a whole, and even though the vocabulary used was more on the financial side, the author still made it possible by explaining what he meant. The book was quite informative, well written, and well researched.
However, the websites cited in the book made it a little bit difficult as I wasn’t looking forward to looking them up because I expected information from the book itself.
I also didn’t like the fact that the author only considered retirement for the elderly as a reason worth planning for, yet the younger people are headed in the same direction, hence a need to prepare them beforehand.
I, therefore, rate this book four out of four stars because the subject matter is very informative and educative, and even though I am not an American, I was still able to understand how the American financial system works, hence the ability to plan better.
The book was also well written and well edited because there were no grammatical or typo errors cited anywhere.
I recommend this book to anyone looking to have a turning point as far as strategic planning, regardless of age, in order to realize their hopes and dreams earlier on in life.
