Laurence Kotlikoff, professor of economics at Boston University and the founder of Maxifi.com — which helps investors bring economics into their financial planning decisions — says investors who have spent decades thinking the stock market rebounds from every dip and decline could be in for a different story with a coming recession, and he thinks they should be trying to lock in their standard of living rather than focusing on historic rates of return. To that end, he says he has cut his personal equity exposure from 60 percent of the portfolio to 20-25 percent. "I do see only downside risk from what's going on," Kotlikoff says. "Even if there is nothing changed on average, the uncertainty itself is enough to produce a recession and a big drop in the stock market." Ted Rossman discusses a recent Bankrate.com survey which showed that more than half of Americans say they will spend less on discretionary items like travel, dining out and live entertainment, but he also notes how plans to limit spending often fail to translate into action and reality. Plus, Chuck answers a listener's question about how to turn the portfolio of his younger self into something more age appropriate and mature.

Laurence Kotlikoff, professor of economics at Boston University — the founder of Maxifi, which factors economics into personal financial planning — says that while the economy is humming along now, investors should be wary of the potential for trouble, especially stemming from the high levels of tariffs that were a part of President Donald Trump's campaign promises. Kotlikoff — who hosts the Economics Matters podcast — worries that if tariffs are placed at levels not seen since the Great Depression, they could result in dramatic inflation and other problems as other nations respond and retaliate. Kotlikoff also discusses how investors should be thinking about the timing for making Roth IRA conversions now, and how to determine the right amount of life insurance to hold. Jeffrey Hirsch, editor of the Stock Trader's Almanac, returns to the show to discuss the latest print edition of the almanac for 2025, and how a classic effort like a printed almanac fits into a market world that leans hard into technology. Plus Melissa Stephenson discusses a PlayUSA.com study which showed that Americans are struggling with "tip fatigue," with 1 in 3 Americans admitting that they tip less money or less often now than they used to.

MONEY MANAGEMENT EDITION   When you retire, what will Social Security be like?    American citizens have lost hope that there will be anything to see. In a Gallup poll conducted in 2021, 43% of respondents said they were concerned about Social Security. According to a study conducted by the same firm, 38% of respondents believe that Social Security is going to be their biggest source of income at retirement.   Can you imagine how Social Security will look in the future? Should workers be concerned?   Many younger workers are concerned that, when they retire, they won't be able to collect social security. While they have contributed to the retirement system for years, they fear that when they retire, they won't have any money left.  In the Social Security Trustees' annual report released in April 2020, the trustees noted the potential for social security to become insolvent within 15 years. Moreover, the current COVID-19 pandemic is probably depleting reserves, too.    With such reports, it is inevitable for American workers to fear what the future holds. But for bestselling author and Boston University professor, Laurence Kotlikoff, it is important to understand social security, prepare for the future, and more.    Join us and as Prof. Kotlikoff discusses the importance of understanding social security and how the system works and what we can look forward to in the future with hosts wealth manager Lee Michael Murphy and career advisor Sergio Patterson.
