Review of Reconfigurement
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is a book about financial and career planning ahead of retirement. The author founded a financial advisory firm in 2000, where he and his team provide a combination of financial and life strategies designed to help clients pursue their goals and dreams. This book gives someone who intends to plan for retirement or maybe a vacation just the place to start.
Investment vehicles and their regulations and requirements are touched on, with the author sometimes giving his preference. Career tests are discussed with links provided as well as the author’s humorous descriptions of his experiences after taking them. There is a chapter about the tools you can find on the internet to help you with retirement planning and a myth-busting chapter on social security. The author provides recommendations for books covering retirement planning and work-from-home jobs.
The best aspect of this book was the amount of detail that went into the description of the various investment vehicles. It is detailed, but not so much so that it overwhelms the reader. It thus provides a foundation for a novice in Finance to restructure their life, not just for Finance gurus. The jokes in this book stave off boredom and remove monotony, especially for people who do not find Business interesting. Finally, the links to personality as well as career tests allowed for active reading, which made the book extremely enjoyable.
The only negative aspect, in my opinion, was that some of the financial products covered like the 401(k) are specific to the United States of America and thus not relevant to some foreign nationals.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It is easily the best self-help book on Finance that I have read so far. It is nothing short of excellent. It is informative, actionable, and has just the right amount of detail. It can change people’s lives for the better. Despite being mainly for a person living in the United States of America, I found that I could relate to some universal financial products, so I did not find this reason enough to deduct a star.
I would recommend this book to people who have an income and would like to get an idea of how they can use it to serve them in retirement, sickness, future unemployment, or after their death. It is, however, not a sales pitch, and readers may require financial and tax advisors to tailor customized products for their divergent needs. It is a great book for readers aged 30 and older and job seekers because of the books on jobs listed toward the end of the book.
