Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is a nonfiction book that aims to help people plan for retirement. As a financial advisor, the author highlights the importance of early retirement planning, especially with the increased human life expectancy. In addition, he addresses the gap between reality and tradition and sees the need for new retirement strategies outside of traditional planning. The book also touches on various subjects, including budgeting, investing, life insurance, health insurance, and a variety of other topics. Throughout the book, the author asserts that people will need gainful employment after retirement. Moreover, he encourages readers to seek jobs that best suit their characteristics, and he further encourages us to take career assessments to determine our strengths and make career decisions accordingly. The author concludes his book by recommending some books about part-time jobs and working from home, and he gives one final piece of advice, which is to not wait until retirement to have fun.
Picking up this book was out of my comfort zone; however, it was completely worth it. The author’s tone was light-hearted and humorous, and he frequently cracked jokes throughout the book to lighten the atmosphere. Thus, he made it easy to read about complex financial topics. In addition, he explained different financial plans and weighed the advantages and disadvantages of each one. Moreover, he explored the best options available. I also liked the author’s positive outlook on many things, like when he described the crisis as a turning point and a source of both danger and opportunity.
There was not anything about the book that I did not like. I learned some interesting information, such as the shocking fact that 70% of Americans dislike their jobs. Additionally, I learned the importance of disability income insurance, given the likelihood of developing a handicap in the future. I discovered a few errors throughout the book, but they did not distract me while reading.
I rate Reconfigurement 4 out of 4 stars. As I mentioned earlier, there was nothing that I disliked about the book. This book was a rewarding read that opened my mind to new ideas, even though I do not have any current retirement plans. Furthermore, I liked the author’s genuine communication with his readers and how he tried to explain the themes as simply and briefly as possible.
I recommend this book to people, especially Americans, who are considering planning for retirement, as it covers the general information needed for retirement planning. Moreover, it covers the factors that need to be considered for retirement and sheds light on some financial myths. This book will also appeal to those who are interested in issues related to financial planning.
