Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Retirement is not a topic enjoyed by a lot of people. For some of us, talking about retirement makes us feel like time is running out a lot faster than it actually is. It certainly does not help that there are a lot of books on the topic, and each one of them tells you the exact same thing: time is running out! That is why it is so refreshing to find a book that not only is small in size but also makes retirement sound like something that could actually be enjoyable—with proper planning, of course.
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer, is a financial advice book for retirement planning.
The author has over 20 years’ experience in the finance industry and has decided to write this book so as to advise his audience on how to really think about retirement and what they can do to ensure they are covered for retirement without having to downgrade their lives too much. This is where Reconfigurement comes in.
What I love about this book is that it is short (just under 150 pages) and everything is straight to the point. Not too many examples are given as the author understands that everyone is different and there is no point in going on and on about different scenarios. I love that the author also looks at retirement completely differently from a lot of other books. He does not just talk about planning for retirement but also about what one can do during their retirement years. Reconfigurement lets the reader know that retirement does not necessarily mean the end for everyone; there is still a lot that can be done before and after it has arrived.
Of course, the fact that the book is only for Americans is disappointing; however, Fleischauer makes a lot of good points that may inspire you as a non-American to do more research from your side of the world about what you can do to make your transition to retirement a lot easier and, dare I say, fun!
My rating for this book is 5 out of 5 stars. This is a book that I feel a lot of people can read, learn a lot from, and pick up quite a number of tips from. It does not use a lot of industry jargon. It is not dry reading, and it is far more enjoyable than many similar books. The editing of the book is really good; it is easy to read and completely understand what the author is trying to say.
While the stated target audience for the book is between 40 and 50, being in my 30s, I would recommend it to anyone who is part of the working force. This book should definitely be read by the younger generation, who are just starting out in their careers. It gives them so much to think about, and because of their age, they would have plenty of time to do so much research about everything mentioned in the book.
