>> reporter: good morning, george. there was a real sense of elation when the news broke here last night that the boys had been found. this entire camp went wild and we are just hearing now that a phone line has been installed all the way into that cave so that parents can speak to their boys for the first time. but as you say they are not out of danger yet. after ten days of painstakingly battling heavy rains, mudslides and near zero visibility two british divers discovered what many are calling a miracle this morning. >> how many of you? >> 13. >> reporter: all 12 soccer players and their coach gathered together exhausted, hungry, but alive. >> many people are coming. many, many people. we are the first. many people come. >> reporter: among their first words, eat. the group also asking the divers how long they'd been trapped in this elaborate seven-mile cave dwelling. >> what day is it? >> monday. >> okay, one week and monday. you have been here ten days. ten days.

you are very strong. very strong. >> reporter: outside cries of relief and joy from the boys' families, many who sat vigil 24 hours a day. rescuers from six countries, including the u.s. military, as well as hundreds of thai officials had joined in the search effort for the boys would originally went into the cave as a fun excursion after soccer practice but were quickly trapped by rising floodwaters. rescuers had thought the group was two miles into the cave but in fact they were found another 300 to 400 meters beyond that point. crews had been working around the clock using huge pumps to reduce the water levels with ropes and air tanks and divers were able to enlarge the narrow passageway to the team in order to get into the crevice with their air tanks. but as families rejoice rescuers face another dilemma. getting a group of weakened young boys out of this dangerous cave. >> okay, trying to way to get them out because the water is really low. >> you have to do it before the rain comes.

>> reporter: divers are bringing the boys food, electrolytes, antibiotics and painkillers but officials must now weigh several rescue strategies including draining the floodwaters to clear a passage, teaching the group to scuba dive so they can swim out on their own or bringing them supplies to survive until the water subsides which could take several months. >> we are going to come together to figure out the best possible solution is and to kind of be able to get the kids out as safely and as quickly as possible. >> reporter: we think the boys survived in part because of the heat in that cave. it was about 100 degrees which meant they didn't have hypothermia to worry about and they were also able to drink fresh water from cracks in the rock. to give you an idea of how far they are in there, for a fit trained navy s.e.a.l. officer it takes six hours to dive, so we are really not out of the woods yet. >> not at all. so hard to wrap your head around the fact that they were found alive. take us back to that moment. >> reporter: george, it was absolutely extraordinary. we were actually down with some

of the rescuers in one of the houses they are using to relax here. they're on a 24/7 mission around the clock. we heard the news. we couldn't believe it at first, thought it was just a rumor. but it is extraordinary to be here for a good news story. we spend so much time all around the world reporting on sad events and i talk to you from all sorts of different places about those sorts of things but here today, the thai people are so happy. it's absolutely brilliant to be a part of it. >> a real blessing. thanks very much. cecilia. >> george, thank you. i want to bring in u.s. air force captain jessica tait who we just saw in james' piece. she is part of the american military team on the ground helping there in thailand. captain tait, thanks for being with us. we are all overjoyed these boys have been found safe and, of course, their coach. what condition are they in right now? >> the condition of the boys, i would definitely have the thai authorities be able to give you that information. what is important to note is they're alive and getting the assistance and that we're

transitioning to this next phase which is kind of figuring out how to safely extract them. >> we did see and hear from them shortly in that video inside that cave. it seems from what we can tell that they're doing at least okay. >> really, when you think about it, nine days, complete darkness, no food and i watched the video and it was so moving to me because when i think about that -- pretty much that mental will to live, like these boys have it and to see pretty much all of thailand here from the volunteer workers to the medics to the military, we've been at work, working side by side with our thai partners since we hit the ground on the 28th. >> you are working so incredibly hard. these boys are not out of danger yet. talk to us about one of the scenarios you are considering potentially having to leave them in there, of course, for their own safety, to bring them food, to bring them supplies but they could be in there for a long time. >> it's important to note the safety. when it comes to being able to extract the children as well as

the coach, safety is paramount and, you know, this is a thai led multi-national rescue operation and looking at all the options and what is the best possible option to do this. >> the whole world is watching and cheering this team on as you try to get these boys out in this race against the clock. one of the other efforts you're considering is potentially teaching them how to dive and swim their way out? >> yeah. as i said, you know, all options are being considered at this time. so whatever is the most viable, you know, considering the conditions of the children, you know, the environmental conditions, et cetera, like all those factors go into risk assessment when it comes to planning. >> i keep going back to how young these boys are, 11 to 16 years old and putting yourself, trying to put yourself in their mind-set. this has to be absolutely terrifying for them. can you tell us anything about their mind-set? where they need to be in order to be able to make this next step, this journey out. >> so, this is probably some of the most difficult type of

diving there is. really. and i mean the british dive experts that did that dive, like that is truly amazing. so i think they are weighing all those options to figure out where do you get to for that mental resiliency, as well as physiological resiliency. so i'm really excited to be here and to see what course of action they decide to take. >> the rescue workers have a harrowing task ahead of them, swimming through conditions that look like mud. they are through narrow caves to get to these boys. what exalyre ty gast right now? >>ealikeou said,ud it's the rainy season in thailand so, you know, you think the weather is good now. the next moment it would be raining and that contributes to the weather conditions within the cave, as well as the water levels so i think that being able to factor that into the courses of action to be able to extract these children, that's all being considered. >> captain tait, our thanks to

you and our thoughts and prayers with the boy, of course, all those rescue workers on the ground there, thank you. >> thank you. >> boy, those conditions, it took the navy s.e.a.l.s six hours just to get to where these boys are, to think this is what they have to swim through if that's the route they will go but to hear the captain say they have the mental toughness, the will to live, to do this, we are really with them through this. >> you can feel the excitement all through that camp right there. >> indeed. >> and amazement at the same time that they're all okay but still got a long road to go. cecilia, thank you very much for that. now we're go to the wildfires and the record-breaking temperatures here at home. people are facing dangerous heat coast to coast and, ginger, you have been tracking it all. how hot is it? >> broiling is the word i'm using. the heat index in new york city, 85, washington, d.c. feels like 90 already at this hour. and there are heat advisories and warnings all the way from

augusta, maine to imperial, california. that heat in the southwest plus the low humidities and high winds just sabotaging the fire. wildfires raging. north of san francisco, walls of flames scorching the hills. the county fire now only 5% contained charring more than 60,000 acres, and get this, it is burning an average of 1,000 acres an hour since it started saturday. >> the fire is moving faster than we can get a handle on it. >> the smoke and ash spreading over the san francisco bay, wineries under voluntary evacuation. >> it's scary to watch. flames everywhere. >> reporter: in colorado the spring creek fire burned more than 100 homes and in utah the dollar ridge fire ballooning to 30,000 acres, five times its original size in one day. up to 300 homes there evacuated. so the heat in the southwest is actually blossoming even more. i want to take you to the maps where we see those excessive heat watches in place from southern california to phoenix which today will only go to 108. by the end of the week could see

its hottest temperature of the season at 114. then east and from topeka to tulsa through new hampshire of course we've got heat advisories. it's not just the heat butututut humidity, dew points are super high and tomorrow that could cause trouble. 105 is the feels-like for the holiday in louisville. we'll head back in to you. >> so much orange and red on the map. ginger, thanks very much. to washington now where the battle is brewing over the supreme court. president trump meeting with court candidates this week. four yesterday, two more expected as early as today as he prepares to announce his pick for replacing retiring justice anthony kennedy on monday, july 9th. kyra phillips is here. good morning kyra. >> reporter: good morning george. president trump met with four potential justices each getting 45 minutes with the president and he says he's ramping up for his search for the supreme court nominee. take a listen. >> i interviewed and met with four potential justices of our great supreme court. they are outstanding people.

they are really incredible people in so many different ways, academically and every other way. >> reporter: sources confirming to us now, george, four leading contenders at the moment. judge brett kavanaugh, judge amy coney barrett, judge amul thapar and judge raymond kethledge, all appellate court judges by the way. we're also told about two additional contenders likely to meet with trump this week, justice joan larsen, we're told, also justice thomas hardiman. now, we're also told trump wants a young person, someone who will be there for decades to come and have a lasting impact. >> they are all on the list of those 25 judges vetted by the conservative federalist society. at the same time we know that there's so much energy from both parties around the issue of abortion. >> reporter: oh, boy, that is very true. the president is actually predicting, george, a vicious confirmation. that's the word being used and

abortion is at the center of that fight. during the campaign the president promised to appoint justices who would overturn roe v. wade. however, he's not saying that now which i found interesting. at the briefing yesterday, i really couldn't get a direct answer when i asked if the president wants to see roe versus wade overturned. here it is. >> is the president still committed to appointing pro-life judges? >> as the president said last week he's not going to talk that judges about specific cases. he's looking for individuals that have the right intellect, the right temperament and that will uphold the constitution. >> george, during the campaign you may remember the president said, i am pro-life and i will appoint pro-life judges. this morning, he is just not going that far. he needs as many votes as he can to ensure his supreme court pick is confirmed. >> okay, kyra phillips, thanks very much. >> we'll find out soon, thanks, george. now to new trouble for harvey weinstein. the disgraced movie mogul is now facing new sexual assault charges this morning.

this time involving a third woman. abc's linsey davis is here with the details. these new charges could send him to prison for the rest of his life. >> reporter: that's right. dozens of women have accused harvey weinstein of wrong doing, including ashley judd and rose mcgowan but the previous indictments stem from allegations from only two women. now there is a third accuser, a woman that weinstein allegedly assaulted in 2006 and she testified before a grand jury on friday. prosecutors are now charging weinstein with two counts of predatory sexual assault and each count carries a minimum of ten years to life in prison if convicted. weinstein pleaded not guilty to rape and other charges. he's now free on $1 million bail and being tracked by an electronic bracelet. he will be arraigned on new charges next week. his lawyer says he will plead not guilty to those charges as well and said, quote, to charge mr. weinstein as a predator when

the interactions were each consensual is simply not justified but the district attorney not backing down asking for more accusers to come forward saying publicly yesterday if you are a survivor of the predatory abuse with which mr. weinstein is charged there is still time to pursue justice. >> okay, linsey, thank you. michael. now to an abc news exclusive. an urgent alert for holiday travelers as an expected 39.7 million americans hit the road for the fourth of july holiday. the secret service is warning drivers against criminals targeting gas pumps with hidden devices to steal your credit card information. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has the story. >> reporter: watch here caught on tape, two men standing at a gas pump, but look closer. you see they're installing a tiny device called a skimmer. the device copies your credit card while you pray at the pump. it's a long-standing scam surging right now with american consumers being targeted at the gas pump by tech-savvy thieves. >> we have open cases in other

50 field offices representing every state in the union. >> we're talking about thousands of customers being hit and millions of dollars being stolen? >> thousands every day. >> reporter: most gas stations won't require a chip on your card until 2020. and gas pumps remain some of the only locations where credit card machines are out in the open, vulnerable to sabotage. the secret service's blunt message this holiday, drivers beware. >> that's a skimmer? >> this is a gas pump skimmer. >> how long does it take to install? >> a matter of minutes depending on the level of trade craft that the fraudster has. >> reporter: in some cases they never have to return to the scene of the crime. the skimmer can record credit card information from a card placed in the pump and send it wirelessly to a crook. >> with a bluetooth skimmer you don't ever have to retrieve the skimmer. >> reporter: in other words, credit card numbers beam to criminals a short distance away. and once the criminals have the credit card numbers they can print fraudulent credit cards by the thousands. >> they'll take the stolen payment card number and then

they will re-encode a gift card or credit card and use it to buy electronics, gift cards, stuff they can fence on the gray market, black market or open market. >> reporter: suddenly the victims are seeing charges show up for items they never purchased. the secret service said this kind of skimming fraud is costing consumers and financial institutions hundreds of millions of dollars. >> for all of us who go and put gas in our tank we scan our card, how can you tell if there is a skimmer on the gas pump? >> reporter: michael there's really no way to know. here are your options, you can pay with cash and then instead of paying at the >> be on the lookout. take a look at this. an amazing moment in boston. strangers banding together to save a woman whose leg got trapped by the train there. 45 years old, she was caught in the gap there between the car and the platform. at least ten people jumped in to

we are back with that pool we are back with that pool safety alert as families had he had to the water for the fourth of july. there is an important warning about just how common and easy to miss drowning can be and gio benitez teamed up with some professionals for an eye-opening demonstration at a pool in patchogue, new york. good morning to you, gio. >> reporter: good morning. this is just so important because in this country three children die from this every single day and when it happens it is quick. it is silent and as you're about to see it can happen without you even knowing. it looks like any other summer r. parents enjoying the barbecue but somewhere in this pool five different swimmers are about to

simulate that they're drowning and we're wondering if these moms and dads can spot them. drowning can happen in just seconds and it's often difficult to spot. it's happening to someone in this public pool right now. can you spot it? there she is. fortunately a lifeguard spots her and makes the rescue but it's in residential pools where lifeguards usually aren't present that the majority of drownings take place. safety experts say part of the reason distracted parents talking on their phones grilling, socializing and supervising other children with no water watcher, a person with eyes on the water at all times. so we've invited this group of parents to a pool party assigning them tanks like running that grill and, of course, tending to their own young kids. we've also added swimmers splashing in the pool but those swimmers are actually trained lifeguards and swim instructors from swim gym swim school

skilled in mimicking a drowning. they know they're here for a demonstration. since it happens when you least expect it. we begin right now. with cameras rolling i watch from a garage just next to the pool observing some parents checking the water but mostly they're focused on their assignments and the party. after 30 minutes -- >> there we go. she went under. >> reporter: kelly begins simulating a drowning, struggling to keep her head above water, arms clawing for the surface and just like the real thing she barely makes a sound. our guests seem not to notice. more than a minute goes by. >> she's still struggling and nobody is looking. we're now looking at more than 2 1/2 minutes and nobody notices a thing. after more than 4 minutes she stimulates a worst case scenario and stops moving, remember, she's a trained professional and is just acting, josh from the american red cross has been watching with us. >> 4 1/2 minutes still no parent noticed anything. >> right. >> does that surprise you?

>> it does not. >> reporter: kelly goes back to swimming and we cue another swimmer. and another and another. all mimicking a drowning but nobody steps in. >> we don't realize how quickly these kind of things can go from just a fun pool party to an incident where someone needs help. >> the kids will get out of the water and get snacks and they're going to leave someone behind and that person is going to start drowning. >> after 30 seconds of purposefully struggling this dad spots her. >> you all right? >> you all right? huh? >> within 36 seconds he noticed. >> it's great that he noticed. we hope they would notice faster. >> reporter: he says in some cases swimmers can submerge in just seconds making them even more difficult to spot. it's time to reveal our experiment. >> there were four drownings that nobody spotted. what's that make you think? >> my kids were on the deck so i turned my back. doesn't mean there weren't other kids in the pool.

>> i think we took for granted they all knew how to swim. >> reporter: for the man who spotted our victim it's too close to reality. >> you were visibly shaken. >> yeah. >> why were you so nervous? >> because it happened to my child. >> his daughter valentina survived but when she was just 3 she began drowning in a hot tub. he was on the phone. >> i got a phone call and i got distracted and she was in trouble. so that part -- >> reporter: water experts say one solution is a water watcher, somebody standing next to the pool free from distractions constantly scanning the water for any signs of distress. rotating every 15 minutes to avoid losing focus. we show the parents what they missed. >> this is that moment when she's motionless in the water. this seems to be very emotional for you. >> they're all our kids. what else do you say?

>> reporter: and, again, these were just simulations so that's important to remember. but in this case the parents all say that if it were their own children in the pools that of course they would be watching a lot closer, michael. >> gio, such an eye-opening message here, but when that's not a pool party going on and ju just hanging out or no one's there, children have a tendency to find their way to an empty pool and fall in. how can you prevent against that? >> reporter: so, michael, there are a few things you can do if you have a pool. have a child alarm on your back door. that's important. but also you want to have a fence around the pool itself. not just around your yard and come with me because i want to show you this. this is really cool, really important. this is what's called a pool guard alarm. i'm going to use these gallons of water, let's pretend they are childrent of a chd, wch ts, i'm tsi emn, the gting you hear that?

>> please hurry up. >> reporter: the teenager was too far from the shoreline and grabbed a branch of a nearby tree and climbed up in it while the gator that was nearly 11 feet long was waiting below her waiting for her to fall. the responding deputy got there in time and says that the teenager was screaming and was physically tired from keeping herself in the tree. for "good morning america," steve osunsami, abc news, atlanta. >> wow. certainly glad she is safe. coming up, could coffee be the key to a longer life? you guys drink coffee? >> i have some right now. >> drink up. a new study out this morning.

we're going to learn more now about a woman who decided to become a single mom at 38. emma told her story in "the new york times." a revealing look at her ups and downs for lessons of others thinking of having children on her own. erielle reshef met with her to learn more. good morning. >> good morning to you, george. a lot of women can relate. emma said for years she didn't feel any urge to have kids then she hit her late 30s and everything changed. with no partner she decided to become a mom by herself. now, she's opening up about her life with her twins as a solo parent and telling other single women it's okay to just do it. for emma this is a typical afternoon.

caring for her twin girls without the help of a partner. choosing to become a single parent, a decision she candidly revealed in her op-ed for "the new york times," single at 38? have that beak. >> when i turned 37, i could see out of the corner of my eye 40 and my panic and not being able to have children was bigger than my fear of doing it alone. >> reporter: single parent households have nearly doubled since the 1970s. in 2017 there were roughly 10,000 mother only homes. something emma sees as a net positive. in fact she wrote the book on it called "an excellent choice." >> i think the ability of women to have children on their own in a thoughtful, responsible way is a relatively new alternative. >> reporter: but her piece in "the new york times" sprouting some skeptics. i read one of the comments. maybe i can speak from the perspective of a child of a single parent.

male role models don't cut it. they're not my daddy. >> everyone is different. there's nothing to suggest children born to single mothers suffer at all in the long term. >> reporter: research, much of it done in countries where there is more day care and social support for parents chose parents from single parent childhoods can thrive. the social and economic support is key. >> you're not saying dads don't matter? >> absolutely not. my own dad is incredibly important. it's a particular solution to a particular circumstance and has nothing to do with the pool of available men. >> reporter: she says it has challenges. >> raising them is a total nightmare in lots of ways. i'm exhausted. stretched way too thin but also it's the most joyful experience i could ever imagine.

>> she acknowledges choosing to be a single mom is a luxury many women cannot afford. >> the choice i've made is definitely a luxurious choice and i'm very, very aware of that. >> reporter: but says she's no different from any other parent. >> that's the takeaway from the whole experience it's not vastly different from anyone else's experience of parenting. >> emma says her decision to become a solo parent is harder than parenting alone. she had to ignore the judgment and concern of others and face some of her own fears. she have also told me it forced her to be outward and rely on her neighbors, something she was never comfortable with before. >> you're learning they're willing to help. >> she got to know her neighbors and they know her kids and they created their own family. >> you create that community.muv clotheth protect you from the sun and you'll try them out in just a little bit.

that heat this weekend, reggie. >> thanks, mike. another abc 7 new welcome back to "gma." we hav welcome back to "gma." we have a great audience with us out in times square. >> hello. >> yeah, they're excited. tomorrow, it is the fourth of july and a lot of us, we'll spend time outside and this morning, we're going to show you how to protect your sun from that summer sun with special protective clothing. becky worley is trying out a few different types so take a look. ♪ >> reporter: regular fabric lets more sun through than you think. when upf clothing was introduced it was a breakthrough. but there was a problem, those early sun shirts were hot. >> the fabrics, the yarns, were much thicker. they didn't move with the body. >> reporter: but fast forward to 2018, and old school rash guards

no more. new technology adds sun repelling chemicals like zinc oxide into the fabrics and intricately layered threads to create breathable fabrics that still shade the skin keeping you but how cool? let's get hot. to find out we asked paul to measure our temperature with this infrared camera from flare. bright areas designate heat. darker are cooler. we tried different colors, fabrics with a upf of 40 or above. >> i haven't laid out since 1984. for each one i lay out for about ten minutes in the sun and then cool down between shirts. when i say cool down, i really mean cool down. after a little heat gun fun with our popsicle we compare all the tops including this plain cotton shirt and it was definitely the

hottest. >> at about 105 degrees fahrenheit. >> 105. i feel like in a sauna. >> reporter: when we start in with our sun shirts the temperature variations are extreme. this one close to the cotton at around 105. i'm definitely sweating. can you tell? but this one, different style. the button down. significantly cooler at 88 degrees. >> lots more room for air to get in here and this sassy shirt was even vented in the back. breezy back there. even after a run, about 93 degrees. not bad. but the hands down coolest shirt was this white superlight technical shirt. it's remarkable how much cooler this shirt is. >> about 83 degrees. >> it was five degrees cooler than the next coolest shirt and using my shorts as another control. >> the sun shirt, 42 degrees cooler. what i like about this one it has little thumb holes and protects the backs of your hands and while all these shirts will protect you from the sun, there are vast differences in how they protect you from the heat. for "good morning america," becky worley, abc news, new

york. >> style expert melissa garcia is here to show us some more options to keep your skin safe in the sun and do it looking good at the same time. melissa, thank you so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> we saw that whole program about sun protective clothing. is that enough to make you do away with the sunscreen? >> it can be. on the places that it's actually covering your body it is actually enough, surprisingly. it gives you an upf factor of 50 plus so you're actually really covered. and these days with sunscreen, you can forget to re-apply and it can be expensive. >> we'll show you some. we have three different clothing looks to show you all today starting with lola. come on out here. she's wearing beach wear. >> yes. >> how did we get this look? >> i love this because this things like your typical bathing suit but this has upf of over 50.

what's great about this, you don't have to worry about it going through your clothing and getting you sun burned. what i also love is the swim leggings. they're another option. a little unexpected but gives you great coverage and a lot don't want to go to the beach in a swimsuit and hat too. make sure yours is upf. this is from athleta and it does. >> lola, you look fantastic. >> very stylish. >> we have krista in a summer party barbecue outfit. how do you keep cool for a backyard cook out? >> what i love about this look, it seems like any dress we find on the shelves in stores these days. it's right on trend. but again, this is upf 50 plus. those rays will not penetrate through the clothing into your skin and really protective. another thing we really have to be careful about is our glasses. our sunglasses, make sure they're 100% uv protective like

these are and they're under $30. >> i love it. is it comfortable? >> yes. >> breathable? >> super lightweight. >> very fashionable. finally we have jen in everyday athleisure look. tell us about this one. >> so, of course, we're doing tons of out dodoor activities i the summer time. this seems like your basic tank top and leggings, but it has a upf factor. her tank from athleta. really comfortable. moisture wicks away all of the moisture that you sort of exert when exercising and her leggings as well look like basic black leggings and have upf protection in it. >> all of these clothes are upf protected, which is awesome, but do regular clothes give you've any kind of protection? >> we normally think they do because you don't get sunburned through your clothing but the uv rays penetrate through it even though you won't get sunburned from the uvb rays. these are great for the summer.

>> thank you so much. >> thank you so much. the heat is penetrating this seat. i can tell you that. [ laughter ] you can find more details on where to get these sun protective clothes on our website, goodmorningamerica.com.

we are back with this to help kids get savvier very with money.

it's called fool proof. it's helped half a million high school students and now they're reaching out to help younger kids and erielle reshef has the details. >> hey there. these kids may not have jobs yet or make their own upon but experts say it's never too early to be a smart consumer. foolproof is teaching kids as young as 12 financial literacy teaches them to be a healthy skeptic and can boost the family's bottom line. this seventh graders at community academy are getting some help. >> can you tell me what a healthy skeptic is? >> reporter: a core concept for foolproof. the program is in more than 5,000 high schools across the country and it's now aiming to help middle schoolers be smarter consumers. >> you have to ask questions and not always believe everything so you can do your own research. >> reporter: earlier this year the program expanded to middle school. it combines classroom lessons presented by teachers with online videos where kids teach their peers. >> many adults don't even know

about the stuff we will show you. >> reporter: fool proof said it wants students to know that adds don't paint a full picture of the product. >> famous people say they love our shoes. but we paid them to say that. >> reporter: there's no shying away from telling like it is when it comes to debt and credit cards. >> they should be called debt cards. >> with americans owing more than a trillion dollars in credit card debt "the washington post" financial columnist michele singletary says fool proof's message is on the money. >> if it means someone young will wait till they're 30 to get a credit card i'm okay with that. if we want to scare them to death, i'm all for that. the more scared they are, the more skeptical they will be and that will work in their benefit. >> do you think middle school is too young to be financially lit rate? >> no, the first time the kids want you to do is buy them this product. >> reporter: this couple is parents to david.

>> i spend my money wisely on things i need. >> reporter: anthony says the lessons are making a difference with his son michael and helping them save. >> it's making me proud of him because of the impact in my pocket a little bit. >> reporter: understanding the difference between needs and wants is one of the first steps toward responsible money management. >> it's the tough decisions out there that we're trying to help the kids manage and work through those in life. >> reporter: it's a lesson that served 29-year-old shawn rowe well. >> this is our lake home we recently bought. >> reporter: he was the among the first wave of high school students who took the fool proof course in high school 12 years ago. today he owns 50 acres of land and shares ownership of this three bedroom three-bath house in upstair new york. >> great location. can't beat it. >> reporter: he credits foolproof for helping him resist the credit card debt that plagued his peers. >> you kind of learned to be skeptical of things and not be an impulse buyer.

you tend to waste money when you're an impulse buyer. friends that i have come to know that are my age have actually just recently approached me about setting up budgets for them. >> and shawn says he made sacrifices based on what he learned from foolproof and only got a credit card a year ago and he lived at home to pay down his student debt. that allowed him to be able to buy that house. >> live at home to buy a home. so what are other tips for parents? >> start simple. do a grocery list with your kids then go to the store with them so they know the difference between needs and wants and did a coin jar with them so they know it's more valuable than a credit card you swipe and finally this was surprising. when they get to high school open a checking account so they know when they get to college a debit card deletes money from your savings. >> we're right on the edge of that right now. thanks so much. get the tips on our website,

>> aren't those the best kind of villains? is that what drew you to shades? >> i knew it right away this would be an extremely layered villain and the best heroes have the best villain answer in luke's case he has multiple villains throughout. >> if you could cross over any marvel character and fight them or go against them -- >> co-exist. >> co-exist, who would it be? >> i've been a huge punisher fan forever. i love him. >> your character, shades, wears shades, it's literally all the time. is that something that feels comfortable to you or are you like that cool? >> no.eay hard in the beginni beginning. i was walking into everything. the sets are super dark and i was running into everything. but this season, explains why he hides so much. >> we don't want you to hide but we do want you -- we'll leave you in these. if you could fit them into the next season -- >> i can tell you these seem about as cool as it gets.
