this story. we don't know exactly what happened and whether or not it was age related, but brings the question, what are natural or normal signs of ageing? >> i think that's a common question. let's go through what's normal and what's not normal with aging. obviously, this varies person to person. there's a spectrum. things like getting tired more quickly during the day, loss of muscle mass and strength, which is called age related sarcopinia which you can combat, i might all very common, add. slight issues with memory. forgetting a name once in awhile. all those things are common. we're seeing more examples of incredible longevity and vitality in popular culture these days. we just heard about bob barker, betty white, queen elizabeth, iris apple who just celebrated her 102nd birthday. it is possible to work and be in good shape as we get older. it's just not as common as we might think. >> what about those who aren't aging? could this be a serious sign as to what happened?

>> i think when you go to the what's not normal, the warning sign, if you will. the big things in terms of neurologic function that you want to look out for is being temporarily unresponsive or altered mental status is the term we use to place or current events or doing simple math. what's 1 plus 1, if you can't answer questions like that. being able to speak or respond to command. i want to be crystal clear, those, even if they resolve, warrant urgent neurologic evaluation. >> a big question, how can we stay healthy as we age? >> that's the key, right? i think it's about, at any age, but particularly with older adults, being socially engaged, learning new skills, music has been shown to be associated with longevity and vitality. interacting with grandchildren or younger people. all of those things are helpful for the brain and make us feel good. >> we're wishing him the best. it's frightening to watch that video. thank you. >> thanks, dr. jen. coming up in our gma morning

and where you spend it and how you pay it back. >> reporter: for fico, the issue is sabt inclusion. >> one in five adult, teenagers, tell us they are uncomfortable with their financial skills. >> reporter: for these soccer fans, tying a soccer match to fiscal fitness, that may have created a bridge. if i ask you to explain something complicated like offsides, would you be able to do that? >> like if you are behind the last defender -- >> reporter: okay. if i ask you to explain something complicated like your credit score, how would you describe that? >> that's a lit more difficult.

inclusion and independence. we wanted to do something about it. >> reporter: a worthy goal to create financially fit teens and adults. fico is making their curriculum to teach financial literacy available to any school in america. it along with advice to improve your credit score can be found at their website. a worthy goal for everyone! [ laughter ] >> we got goals from you today. we also got some really great information. this is such a cool program. you also have some great advice for parents talking to their kids about their credit scores. >> yeah. you know, first you should check your kid's credit score for mistakes. sometimes identity thieves will target minors. you want to explain to kids how borrowing works especially interest. it sounds so basic. you have to tell them, credit cards are a form of borrowing. you have to have a plan to pay all the money back or the interest will add up and they will be in deep debt.

that, rebecca, is not the goal! [ laughter ] >> it's really an interesting and important point. my mom had this conversation with me. she didn't use that language in it, unfortunately. but she did break through. such great advice. becky, as always, thank you. okay. lara, also important advice here. we have information from you in pop news. >> that was fantastic. we're going to begin with some great news for taylor swift fans. if you were not lucky enough to get to one of her concerts, the 12 time grammy winner wants you to be able to enjoy the show on the big screen. her concert, the eras tour, will play at amc theaters across north america starting october 13th. guess what? taylor is giving us an exclusive first look at the trailer. take a look. ♪ we are about to go on a little adventure together. that adventure is going to span 17 years of music.

injured and thanked the first responders who met the aircraft and provided medical attention. faa data shows an uptick in serious turbulence related injuries, hospitalizing at least 17 people last year. some experts pointing to climate change for the increase in incidents. a recent study found severe clear air turbulence which occurs without a visual warning like clouds or thunderstorms has increased more than 50% over the last 40 years due to changing temperatures. just this week video shows passengers screaming as a plane attempted to land in spain. that flight forced to return to the airport due to bad weather. >> every now an then, very very rare, but when it does occur, if people aren't in their seats they will be thrown all over the cabin in severe turbulence. >> reporter: and planes, experts say, are made to withstand traveling through turbulence, but incidents like these are the exact reasons why they say you

should always have your seat belt on throughout the whole flight. guys? >> all right. fasten up. a good reminder for all of us. >> yes. now to new york city's first shark attack victim since the 1950s. her family sharing new details about the ordeal. trevor ault sat down with her daughter. good morning, trevor. >> this is an incredible family and an incredible woman. they say most days she would take an hour long subway ride to the beach. that's how much she loved the ocean. by all accounts this historic shark attack was truly brutal and she remembers it in vivid detail. >> i think the fact that she's alive is a miracle. >> reporter: this morning the family of tatiana, the 65-year-old woman mauled by a shark off rockaway beach, opening up about that harrowing day. >> the severity of this one the surgeon said, he had never seen anything like it. >> reporter: tatiana is the first victim of a confirmed shark attack in new york city since the 1950s. her daughter and son in law say

she had been enjoying her new retirement up until august 7th. walk me through what your mother told you happened that day. >> she was in the water as she normally was towards the end of the day. she felt something bump into her hard. and then she saw the shark on its belly up look at her. >> rockaway beach. people have bitten. >> possible shark attack. >> she saw all of its teeth. she described how green and dirty they were. and then the shark attacked and she remembers a cloud of blood in the water. >> reporter: dasha said her mother screamed for help and tried to get back to shore. >> she felt herself losing energy and just counting to 9 or something to just make it to the shore.

the police officer came and was quick to apply a make shift tourniquit. she credits that for saving her life. >> reporter: according to her daughter, she is convinced she was bitten by a great white. the doctor called it the biggest bite he's ever seen. >> he was just kind of in awe of it, in awe that she survived that. >> reporter: her family said she's always been a survivor, immigrating from ukraine in the '90s and then becoming a single mother when her husband passed soon after. >> she's a fighter. she's fought for everything in our lives on her own. >> reporter: tatiana's road to recovery will take years. she's still in the hospital, having undergone seven surgeries with at least one more ahead. but her family says she's resilient and she's not bitter. >> my mom is in love with nature, with animals. i do think she'd want me to tell

the public to not hate on sharks. but to do everything we can to be able to swim safely. >> dasha said her mother's goal is to one day go back to rockaway beach with a bottle of champagne. her family expressed so much gratitude from all over the world. even in the hospital she had a sense of perspective to say to her daughter, at least my life certainly isn't boring. >> what a good attitude to have. a miracle that she's still here. trevor, thank you. we appreciate it. u.s. department of health and human services is calling for moving marijuana to a lower risk category. elizabeth schulze joins us what what you need to know. good morning to you. >> good morning, demarco. this would be a big change that would ease federal restrictions on marijuana. currently it's classified as a schedule 1 controlled substance. that's the same category as some of the more dangerous drugs with no accepted medical use like heroin or lsd.

but health and human services is now reportedly asking to reclassify marijuana as a lower risk schedule 3 drug, the same category as ketamine or testosterone. last october, president biden requested that his administration initiate this process of recategorizing marijuana under federal law. hhs said it's working to ensure this is completed quickly. as of now, marijuana is still illegal at the federal level but nearly 40 states do allow for its use in some way. this could be a step toward wider legalization. guys? >> that would be a big change. okay, elizabeth, as always, thank you. coming up, the fda has issued warning letters to three baby formula companies. what parents should know this morning. next, looking for bargains. it can be a little tricky. becky worley is here with what's a deal and what is not this labor day weekend. stay with us. not. this labor day weekend, stay with us.

we are back with labor day sales. but many shoppers are finding pretty limited options in their search for deals. abc news consumer correspondent becky worley has details on the bargains you can find now and what you should wait on. good morning. >> good morning. sometimes holiday weekend sales are incredible and sometimes they're just, meh. people are not seeing rock bottom prices this labor day, but there are unique

opportunities to save. this morning an economy in transition means deal hunting is a little tricky. >> these sort of sales around labor day, perhaps are a little more conservative than years past. it's hard to determine whether it's just a reflection of the inflated prices or whether it's a reflection of retailers being more reluctant to put more stuff on sale. >> reporter: where they are seeing sales are on seasonable items, like this kenmore gas barbecue from wal-mart. was $349, now $279. plus seasonal clothing is on sale, like these leather flip flops that are $49 on amazon down from $70. but with another amazon prime event just coming up in october, and black friday only 12 weeks away, experts say hold off on buying if you can. but there are a few exceptions. >> there are sometimes when buying large appliance, you can't wait. if that's the case, i would recommend pursuing labor day sales.

the stand alone sales themselves aren't bad so you can find refrigerators, ranges, washer/dryer sets, dishwashers at good, if not great, prices. >> reporter: if you need a new stove, home depot has this highly reviewed ge electric model on sale. it was $1099. now $748. best buy is offering this whirl pool side by side fridge for $14.99. that's $399 off. they'll throw in $100 best buy gift card. lowe's has this lg dryer on sale for $498. that's $200 off the list price. one tip to figure out if a deal is really a deal, use a price tracker that can tell you what the items all-time lowest price was. i like honey and camel, camel, camel. if an item says it's a deal or savings or reduced but at the same price it's been at for the last four, five months, it's probably not a deal and the price may get much lower around black friday.

[ laughter ] >> that's the greatest advice ever. >> you know it, right? >> what is the opposite of meh? back to you, becky. >> thank you, becky. we appreciate it. coming up garth brooks joins us live to talk about his new project. and next, a record breaking play of the day. is getting smaller because of my sight. but now, i can open up my world with vabysmo. vabysmo is the first fda-approved treatment for people with wet amd that improves vision and delivers a chance for up to 4 months between treatments. which means doing more of what i love. ♪ vabysmo is the only treatment designed to block 2 causes of wet amd. vabysmo is an eye injection. don't take it if you have an infection or active

[ laughter ] really big deal. it's not every day a college volleyball game needs to upgrade its venue to a football stadium, but that was the scene at the university of nebraska memorial stadium last night as the five time ncaa champ nebraska huskers took on the omaha mavericks. it was one for the books. 92,003 fans. get that last three. it's important because it breaks the world record for the largest crowd to witness a women's sporting event. the stadium staff even had to add seats on the field to accommodate all of the volleyball fans. the event was months in the making. it was dubbed volleyball day in nebraska. boy was it ever. the university even cancelled classes wednesday for the momentous occasion. to cap off the historic night the huskers took home the win.

better than that girl there. if she's gonna be taking it over as well, i think i'd take over maybe tonight on there, which would be fun and ju a lot of new stuff on there and stuff you wouldn't think of. and that's a fun part about tailgate. >> it's always so interesting to see what's on other people's playlists. we have to talk about your las vegas residency. it's been so successful. you sold out. you even had to add some new dates. so i'm curious, what's your favorite part of doing this residency? tsay. >> i think the fact that we're just all there for music is what i love. you know, right now it seems like everything is so either divided left or right or whatever, but when it comes to music, we all kind of are from the same family. so that's what the caesars residency kind of focuses on. not a lot of, you know, no lasers, no no trappings, no nothing. that's for other shows in vegas. for us, we just focus on the music. the people come in, they sing,

they kind of take it over and the next thing you know, you don't know what the next song is. nobody's got control of the ship, but wherever you're going, you're going there together and you're having a good time doing it. so that's that's the fun of it. >> and real quick, we have to talk about the music. you've got a new album, new music coming out, duets, album. what can fans expect? >> yeah, we got a lot of new music coming out this fall, so we've been off for a while. we had the comeback tour, the stadium tour, and now we got to sit in this residency, which allows you time to get in the studio, which is fun. so we got some new music coming out and mixing it with the old stuff. because my thing is too many times we go to concerts and somebody drops a whole new record on us and don't play any of the old stuff. we're very proud of our old stuff. so anywhere we go, even with the new stuff, we'll bring the old stuff with us. >> and we love the old stuff. garth, thanks so much. we'll be right back. >> generation gap tonight on abc and stream on hulu. >> it's fine. it is. it's fine.

there's a price difference of $176. compared to just $15. >> those are great. >> here's the difference. this is something, if you live in a sunny area, you want to take into account. ray bans are made with 100% uva/uvb lens. where as the less expensive version has a coating. they do feel a little different when you're looking at the sun. ray bans are also anti-scratch, anti-glare. if you're just looking to nail that, i think these are amazon are pretty darn good. >> really cute. then sandals. still got a few weeks where we can rock them. now a days people wear sandals all around. >> it's all about socks and birkenstocks. which one do you think is the more expensive pair. serena or savannah. >> they're hard. i'm confused by the buckles. i think that's the expensive one on serena. >> you are correct.

>> okay, yes. i had to redeem. >> you did. they're gaining in popularity, constantly at the top of the norm core trend. they're known for versatility and comfort. >> they're great. >> under $50 on amazon. actually savannah was saying, oh my gosh, these are so comfortable. you have to think for yourself. what am i going to get a lot of use out of? >> that's something i would save on. they're kind of trendy and just chuck them on. they're great. they are comfortable? good. finally the accessory of all accessories the hand bag. cheap or not cheap. we don't say cheap. we say less expensive. >> less expensive. here's the thing with the hand bag. everything is what's the trendy hand bag? >> the woven thing, right? >> woven. so which one, serena or savannah is in the expensive one? >> without getting too close and touching, from afar, from afar i would say the darker one looks a little more luxe to me. >> that is inkrebg. >> really? >> but everyone on set was also

fooled. this one that serena has is the gold standard. with well known sustainable practices. they only make one or two a day because it's hand woven. >> i can't believe i messed that up. >> they keep selling out. over $200. but this one that savannah has, this is vegan leather. it is synthetic. it's under $70 on amazon. they are both great buys. you have to make the decisions what matters to you. vote with your dollars. i think either way you can't lose. >> i love it. you look great. these are great tips. everybody can take advantage of them. you can shop all these looks by scanning the qr code on your screen. or just go to our website, good morning america.com. that was fun. i'm shopping. for now we do want to get back to ginger in florida. >> yes, lara. idalia's clouds are all the way up to new jersey. at least the high ones. you can see it there seaside. waves starting to kick up.
