The greatest lesson that I learned from the book was that working to earn an income does not need to be full of mystery. We have the option of picking a job that fits our unique personality.

I think, for me, it would be that it truly doesn't matter which stage of your life you're at - it's never a bad time to start thinking about retirement and planning in advance is never a bad thing!

The greatest lesson I learned from the book is to plan ahead for my future even as I work. I also learned that there are various ways one can do this and the one that stood out for me the most is financial planning for my future.

The greatest lesson you can learn from this book is planning ahead of time in terms of retirement. I think that planning ahead is effective and engaging for others to do as you can settle once you get to retirement age; however, I am a strong believer of having fun during your youth before life really kicks in and reality hits you and you do not find time to party or life life. This can have a negative effect and create regrets. Therefore, the best lesson you can take from this book is that planning retirement is great in small portions, as it allows you to live while young but also when you get to retirement age you are also able to spend quality time with your ready made family and friends. something you once did when you was younger that you are able to revisit.

I think that the book 'Reconfigurement' gives you many tips which help you to make decisions when it comes to planning retirement.

The most interesting thing I've learned from this book is that such type of information can include a humor. To be honest I was shocked.

I learnt that it is never too late to plan. Yes, planning takes an extra effort, but it is the key to successful active living after retirement.

That planning is important in your post retirement life. If your pension's not a lot, you should plan how to supplement it. If your pension is actually much, you should plan how to manage it.

I discovered a lot from this book. 1) Everybody's experience with retirement is unique, and we all respond to it differently. 2) How to make life plans before I get old, among other things. I need to put more effort into working toward my retirement and planning for it.

I've come to realize that everyone's experience with retirement is unique, and that everyone responds to it differently. More time must be dedicated to retirement preparation and retirement-related activities.

Did you know that the likelihood of having a disabling accident is 1 in 21, whereas the likelihood of having a home fire is 1 in 96? However, most people think only about fire and home insurance. If I hadn't read the book, neither would I have known that.

It also made me wonder what other things I should have taken important but been negligent on.
Today's me is better than yesterday's me.

I think the key point that I took from this book is that the early you become intentional about your future and seek knowledge to make it better the higher the chances of achieving your dream life. There are many resources and websites that give informations and guides to be learned.

I think the greatest lesson I learned from this book is that without planning, you have a lot of shocking situations awaiting you.
