Review of Reconfigurement
Over the past few decades, the world has truly evolved in ways no one had anticipated. Significant developments have led to longer lifespans, and this means that people need to plan out their retirements in more depth. Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is here to help you do exactly that. The author tells us that as everything around us evolves, so must the planning of our retirement.
Financial planning is extremely difficult and technical in nature; there is a lot of jargon involved that I truly know nothing about. But don’t worry! This book is a safe space for those who are not so knowledgeable when it comes to all things financial. The author is very experienced and has worked in the financial field for a very long time, so I really believe that his advice comes from a well-informed place. A variety of topics were covered from start to finish; these include career assessment, insurance, social security, and many more. Not only were these discussed in detail, but wonderful suggestions were made, and everything was explained clearly. I really liked the fact that not a single suggestion felt rigid in its approach. The author understands that situations are different for everyone and gives us fundamental information that we can use to then develop our own choices.
While I have read fictional books by this author, this was my first experience with him in the non-fictional department, and I was definitely pleasantly surprised. His writing style was admirable as it flowed well. Going into the book, I was certainly a bit worried that all this technical information might come off as boring and that I might understand none of it. But in between clear explanations and guidance, the author incorporated hilarious jokes and insightful anecdotes that I felt truly tied everything together. The light but informative tone that was used was the cherry on the icing.
The ideal reader for this book is certainly someone who is looking to retire. However, if there is one thing I learned from this book, it is that it is never too early to start financial planning, as this not only makes your life a lot easier but also eases your transition into retirement, which can be quite difficult. As a young reader, I didn’t find myself sharing a lot of concerns expressed by the author for those looking to retire just yet, but that didn’t dampen my reading experience in the least. There was nothing about this book that I disliked, which is why I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
I recommend this book to anyone who is about to retire or desires to learn more about financial planning.
