Laurence Kotlikoff is a Professor of Economics at Boston University and author of the forthcoming book, MONEY MAGIC: An Economist’s Secrets to More Money, Less Risk, and a Better Life. We discuss the differences between an economist's approach to financial planning versus Wall Street's. Kotlikoff shares unconventional wisdom, such as the benefit of paying off your mortgage with your IRA in retirement, how some professions are better to pursue in terms of lifetime earnings (clue: it's not medicine) and why delaying retirement by just two years can enhance financial security.
