Review of Reconfigurement
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer
Choosing to pursue financial literacy and unlearning bad habits is a challenging task to undertake. It can be rewarding to work to unlearn these habits if done correctly. Over the last few decades, the life of an average American has gone up by about 30 years. This means that more people are living for longer; therefore, planning for the future is more important than ever. This book is written with the average American in mind, with the author being an experienced financial advisor who has been in the industry for about 20 years. Throughout this book, he aims to provide advice on the various ways that one can prepare for the future and, ultimately, retirement.
It is not easy to effectively financially plan for the future, especially if one needs to gain prior knowledge of doing it before starting. Therefore it is important to find resources that can help one along the way. This book is written in a very interesting style that one can easily engage with. The author uses stories and personal anecdotes to emphasize the messages they want to convey. I enjoyed that aspect of the book very much. It was fun and refreshing and quite different from several self-help books that I've read in the past. The author details several different techniques that one can employ to manage their income depending on their circumstances. Self-introspection is the key to finding out what works for one best, and it is something that the author encourages heavily. I liked that the advice provided was simple enough to grasp
People rarely think deeply about their retirement, especially when they are still young. For most people, retirement is a concept they begin to think about when they are closer to retirement age. The author gives several different perspectives on how to approach retirement. This includes those perspectives that can apply to the younger generation entering the job market. The author employs a conversational tone that feels like the reader converses with someone rather than being criticized or judged. I enjoyed this aspect of the book.
There is nothing about the content of the book I did not enjoy; however, if I had to nitpick a little bit, I did not like the book's cover. It seems bland and not something that would stand out to potential readers. That was the only thing I did not enjoy about the book.
I rate this book five out of five stars as it was an insightful read. I also found no grammatical errors, and the book seems exceptionally well-edited. I recommend this book to anyone looking for solid financial advice for the last phase of their lives and a place to begin.
