Reconfigurement is a retirement planning book, written by E. Alan Fleischauer. The book is so engaging, giving real-life examples of how things practically are. The author notes that the core values of having a good retirement plan are money and budget and that our biggest competitor is consumption. He gives us an insight into different insurance covers and with a very elaborate reason, shows us how important disability income insurance is, either a personal one or of a group.

He gives us an overview of all there is to cover on social security, including types of investments one can consider from stocks, bonds, mutual funds, college plans, traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, real estate investment trusts, and exchange-traded funds among others. He covers various topics of interest like life protection, retirement plans like 401k and IRA, health insurance like Medicare and Medicaid, long-term care and how to get ready for it, including limited movement and loss of hearing, and wills and trusts; either permanent or temporary trusts.

I personally find this real-life financial book fascinating, because it has a different retirement plan, unlike what we are used to reading from other authors, who mostly address either the right brain or the left brain. Alan combines both to give us an articulate overview of what a modern retirement plan should include. It also includes carrying out assessments to get to know your personality and career traits, followed by a thorough investigation of your career choices. Various sites for carrying out the assessments are listed in the book too. This makes one feel relating to it. The author has also adopted the use of jokes and short stories in the middle of his work. This motivates the readers and keeps them entertained, taking away any boredom that may arise from reading too much financial content.

From the first page of the book to the last one, the book has been well and exceptionally edited, for I have found no profane words or grammatical errors. Kudos to the editors. I also have not found any missing or misplaced words. All of the content in the book is well-researched and positioned. For this reason, I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars.

The book is suitable for people in their 40s or 50s, as well as those working in financial or insurance institutions, and those interested in financial matters. On reading this book, you will find yourself wanting to write down your retirement plan. I already started mine.
