Everybody wants to have a very nice life during their retirement years, but not everybody can afford such a lifestyle. Some people can afford to pay someone to do the planning for them, but again, not everyone can afford such privileges. E. Alan Fleischauer, in his book Reconfigurement, gives a detailed breakdown on how one can go about achieving these goals. He talks about working short-term to achieve long-term goals. He also talks about making smart plans and choices, like investing in the right ventures.

Personally, I enjoyed reading the book, although I am not a lover of financial books. I find them to be quite boring, but E. Alan Fleischuar managed to add humor in the midst of all the seriousness of the book. I also enjoyed the graphic visuals; he made use of graphs and tables in his explanation, which were quite helpful. I also liked how he simplified his work so that the book is accessible and understandable by anyone. I liked how facts with citations to back them up were provided, and I also enjoyed his inclusion of personal anecdotes and hypothetical events that relate what was being discussed to real life. He didn't make the book fictional. It was relatable. As a financial advisor himself, the author mostly spoke from personal experience.

I also enjoyed how the book diversified into various topics, all of which were still under the heading of finances. like insurance, social security, investment, all that, and whatnot. He touched on each topic in a new chapter, and by so doing he made the book easier to grasp. At least I was able to differentiate each topic.

I have no negatives on the book. I enjoyed the read absolutely, but I think there was too much information on the history and background of financial tools that people like myself who are not into finances would find choking or boring. Other than the above complaint, which is based on a personal opinion, I have nothing against the book.

After reading this book, I see no reason not to give it a deserving rating. It was exceptionally well edited, with no grammatical or typographical errors. For the above-mentioned reasons, I will give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend the book to those specifically looking to start planning for their retirement age. I also recommend it to people who generally enjoy financial advice books.

Working short-term to achieve long-term goals must be in a high paying industry/job my thoughts, but I will love to read what the author says about this. The tools you listed used to communicate data to readers will make reading Reconfigurement an interesting read.
