Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Finances are an important part of anyone’s life, and knowing how to manage them is an incredibly constructive skill to have. Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer not only gives you that but also adds a sprinkle of life advice as well. Having said that, finances are never a fun topic, but somehow Fleischauer manages to engage the reader as he shares the wealth of knowledge that he has gained from years on the job. He specifically focuses on the area of retirement and suggests methods that enable retirees to do much more with their money without sinking financially. For non-retirees, Fleischauer outlines decisions and information that could lead to a stress-free retirement.
Retirement is something that I’ve thought about a fair bit even though I’m on the younger side of age, so I picked up this book expecting it to provide the value and information that I need, but I also expected it to be a slog to read through. That was not the case at all. At every juncture in this book, I was getting new information and advice that was easily digestible and something that I could engage with. The author also makes it fun to read by incorporating a little humor between the lines of the page.
One thing I love about Fleischauer’s writing style is that it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation, which is something I love to see in non-fiction self-help books. The book encourages you to think for yourself and about your own unique situation. It urges you to identify your spending patterns and financial vices and incorporate all of that knowledge into your plan.
I was a bit skeptical about some suggestions, but it was reassuring to know that Fleischauer was talking from a very knowledgeable perspective, having worked for years in a financial advisory firm.
This didn’t affect my overall enjoyment of the book, but I wish there were more topics geared toward younger people and some specific situations they could be going through. As I mentioned, it is a minor issue, and the book does touch on some of those situations. I also came to the conclusion that it was professionally edited; I found no grammatical errors. That being said, I have no choice but to give this 5 out of 5 stars.
I would recommend this book to an older demographic, those around forty to fifty. The information in this book is going to be most useful to them. However, I still think anyone in the workforce will find this a very helpful read. At the very least, this will be sure to get the younger readers thinking about the topic. Splendid book.
