Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
According to the author of this book, people typically spend less than 10 hours per year preparing for their retirement, yet spend 90,000 hours of their lives working toward it. People often prioritise their prime midlife over their retired life, but it will already be too late when they realise they should have given equal importance to planning the retired phase of life as well, if not more. This book discusses how to plan for retirement before you actually retire, why you should plan for retirement, when to start planning, and what factors go into such preparations. Although this may seem overly complicated, you'll see as you read the book how much simpler it really is. So what are you waiting for then? Go ahead and read it now.
This book, Reconfigurement, focuses on the ideas of financial planning for a secure retirement life. It discusses the alterations we must make to our current lives and the consequences we may experience if we delay or refuse to make these adjustments. The main theme of this book is the importance of planning ahead of time. Since everyone's experience with retirement is unique, so should be the ways in which we must each prepare for it. I like how the author begins the book with the question asking what extra years of life are worth when we don't know what we're going to do with them.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The best part about this book is that it highlights that reconfiguration can be done at any age and stage of life; however, the sooner, the better. I like how the author presents serious content in a fun and innovative manner. Although most of the concepts and terminologies may be unfamiliar to individuals outside the finance industry, the author made sure that the text made sense to everyone, regardless of background knowledge. A portion of the content was presented in the form of questions and answers, which helped to understand complicated approaches more quickly.
There was nothing I didn't like about the book. The book contained a lot of information, but it wasn't too dense. Each concept was followed by a real-life example or a short story. The book stresses that if we act on it at the right age and follow the guidelines correctly, anyone can have a relaxed retirement life. At the end of each chapter, the credits for all the stories or theories mentioned are listed.
Although the book may sound like it should only be read by people over 50, it is actually targeted at people going through a midlife crisis, especially at young people who can begin planning for retirement at an early age. The book is exceptionally well written and professionally edited. The author, E. Alan Fleischauer, has done a great job of introducing us to different terms and concepts while also making them simple for us to understand and implement in our daily lives. The author offers a collection of job books that he approves at the book's conclusion. I hope you enjoy the book and learn from it as much as I did. Happy reading!
