Review of Reconfigurement
At different times in our lives, we consider retirement in all its shapes. Many of us consider it a place where we can enjoy our golden years. Some people prepare for it, others do not, and still, others have no idea how to do so. No matter which group you fall under, Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer offers insights that you will find helpful.
It addresses career assessments, life insurance, social security, investing, wage protection, and inexpensive health insurance. Alan addresses the fears and concerns people have about retirement while providing possible solutions. The majority of what he discusses is widely known but poorly understood. It also emphasizes having fun in your working years and having a career you love.
I enjoyed reading Reconfigurement for several reasons. The first thing I noticed was how friendly Alan's writing was. He has also used simple and easy-to-understand English in the book. These two aspects will make readers of this book particularly fond of it because it addresses such a crucial topic. I appreciate his sense of humor, which he does not hesitate to show. He accomplished this by sprinkling the text with several jokes and amusing tales. He has made an effort to be straightforward, even when the subject matter is complex, such as in the sections regarding investing and healthcare.
Alan's primary sources are Investopedia and Wikipedia. In the notes section, he has supplied a list of these references. His credentials also lend credence to the content's quality. Along with his explanations, he has included several illustrations that have helpful information. The concluding chapter's list of suggested books for further study is another feature I appreciate.
The way Alan writes is my favorite element of the book. Reconfigurement is in a style that reads like a private discussion. Given his humor, it is enjoyable to read and not overly stiff. It is both educational and enjoyable. Who would have imagined that reading a book about retirement could be fun?
The editorial team did not perform a great job since I found several errors, most of which appear towards the book's conclusion. I did not find anything unpleasant regarding Reconfigurement besides the faults. Readers between the ages of 40 and 50 are the intended audience. However, I recommend this book to adults of all ages who have retirement in their sights. It is never too early to plan for retirement. I rate it 3 out of 4 stars for all the reasons stated above. I find it painful to deduct one star due to the mistakes. If you decide to read it—which I hope you will—I think you'll find it enjoyable and instructive.
