Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is the perfect book for people who are concerned with retiring or looking to start the process. It is extremely informative for retirees and offers right-brain and left-brain solutions to many problems that arise with the process by a professional financial planner. In a nutshell, the book lays out a financial plan to reconfigure your life (and your finances) at any stage. It provides new retirement strategies that “extend far beyond the traditional investment asset-focused financial plan”. The book goes into topics such as utilizing Social Security, tax reduction, investments, defined benefit plans, IRA, MGPro software and spending strategies. The book provides ideas on how to move forward from a late-life crisis and shows the reader how they can utilize free online resources, such as career assessments, to improve their lives. Additionally, the author talks about budgets, consuming and saving, 401K, disability insurance, paying for health care, spousal benefits, long-term care partnership program, testamentary capacity and a “hodgepodge of subjects” I haven’t covered (ch 12, pg 345). The author marvellously incorporates humour, kindly worded rewards, historic sides of well-known concepts and ‘recommended reading’ in his book.
Something that I like about the book was that it made hard-to-understand topics easier to comprehend. The author did an excellent job of adding humour to the book so it would never get too boring and adding personal insights. They were very careful to avoid making it seem like they were selling you a product which is something that I appreciated. They found ways to incorporate history into subjects to help better our knowledge and at the end of every chapter, the author acknowledged that reading about financial matters can be boring and stressful, and provided encouragement to keep reading. One thing that I noticed was that in chapter 5, the author quotes Wikipedia which is questionable since quoting a website that can be edited by anyone shows that the sources might not be trusted. The book is also not beginner friendly, it is not as if anybody could understand the topics. One may have to conduct external research and have previous knowledge to understand a lot of the contents.
I would give this book a four out of five or a three out of four, some topics were hard to understand and not explained clearly but it was paced well and included a lot of humor. There were no professional mistakes or vulgar language. The genre is non-fiction and I would recommend the book for adults, and especially people over 30. The audience will love this book for its informativeness and humour, it is the type of book that no matter how many times it's reread it’ll still provide new knowledge.
