Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
"Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer is an insightful guide focusing on planning for life after retirement. Aimed at American readers but broadly applicable, it emphasizes the importance of preparing for retirement due to the increasing life expectancy and the desire for continued activity in later years. Fleischauer stresses the necessity of considering a second career as one approaches middle age.
The book methodically guides readers through reconfiguring their lives for retirement. Fleischauer covers career assessments, offering advice on selecting a second career and the steps involved in retirement planning. He discusses how to choose between an active or a quiet retirement, delving into critical aspects such as social security and various investment options, weighing their pros and cons.
One of the book's strengths is its clear and engaging presentation of complex topics. Fleischauer simplifies difficult subjects, often providing historical context before exploring them in depth. His humorous and lively writing style makes the content accessible and enjoyable, transforming potentially dry topics into interesting reading.
The book is exceptionally well edited and free from errors, enhancing the reading experience. I found myself agreeing with Fleischauer’s points throughout, appreciating his ability to balance seriousness with humor. His jokes and anecdotes make the book not only informative but also entertaining.
I highly recommend "reconfigurement" to anyone nearing retirement or contemplating a career change. Fleischauer’s guidance is invaluable, covering essential topics like healthcare, wills, trusts, and investment choices comprehensively. This book is not only for retirees but also for anyone seeking to improve their life planning. Fleischauer even suggests further reading for those interested in deepening their understanding.
Fleischauer, an award-winning poet and author, brings his extensive knowledge as a financial advisor to the book, discussing income, budgeting, and investment with clarity and expertise. He advises against unnecessary spending and advocates for saving, providing practical tips on various investment options such as mutual funds, bonds, and Treasury bills.
One of the standout sections is Chapter 7, where he explores different investment choices in detail, inspiring readers to consider their options carefully. Fleischauer's writing is accessible and engaging, filled with jokes and stories that make complex subjects easier to understand, and I don't find anything I dislike about the book.
There is nothing negative to say about "reconfigurement." The book is well organized, free of jargon, and perfectly edited. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. While it is especially beneficial for those aged 40–50, it is also highly informative and educational for younger readers, starting at age 18. The book's unique approach makes it a must-read for anyone looking to plan their future effectively.
