first on "cbs this morning," we're getting an early look at the future of high-speed rail in the u.s., and it can't come fast enough. amtrak plans to replace its popular acela transin 2021. the newer trains will hold more people, travel faster and have improved safety features and they are being assembled in the u.s. kris van cleave saw the new acelas at the smalltown factory that has been making trains since abraham lincoln was president. he's on a train between washington and new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this acela train takes three hours to get from d.c. to new york and has a top speed of 150 miles per hour. it's not japan's bullet train, and the next one won't be
7:41 am
either, but will be faster, the new ones. it will hit about 160 miles per hour and shave about 15 minutes at trip. new non-stop service between the two cities will be even shorter. down to about two and a half hours. inside this sprawling western new york factory the future of america's high speed rail is starting to take shape in the same spot where trains have been serviced, build and rehabbed since the 1850s. stanley hall is the third generation stanley hall to work here. >> it's not just my father and grandfather, you know. my brother comes in here and works, and i have several cousins who work here. when i was first hired, my uncle is one that would help me a lot get in here. >> reporter: it wasn't enough that your dad and granddad worked here. you needed some more help? >> needed more help from him. >> reporter: they start as a shelf before some of the 800 who work here will build the new
7:42 am
acela. how northern to the future of amtrak is the new acela? >> it's incredibly important. it really lays out a clear vision for what short haul inner city passenger rail transportation can do for this country, and this country is going to need it in more and more corridors because millenials don't want to drive, and you cannot add enough lane miles for 100 million more people. >> the updated acela trains are faster. they will hold about 380 people, 25% more passengers than the old one and are designed to tilt as they take turns allowing them to go faster. am it's's most lucrative corridor linking boston, new york and d.c. will see a cut in travel time by 15 minutes. >> we've got to position amtrak to have a modern product that a millenial wants to get on with high speed wi-fi, craft beers and reliable schedules that beat buses, cars and airplanes.
7:43 am
>> the new model meets new stronger crash worthiness standards and is designed not to jackknife guarding against the kind of derail hadn't when amtrak 188 took a turn too fast near philadelphia in 2018. >> they are the most modern trains in the world. >> reporter: on the inside faster wi-fi, usb charging in every seat, reading lights and the winged head rests so no one can fall asleep on your shoulder. anderson promises unlike the airlines amtrak will not shrink your seat. >> i would like a little more space. >> reporter: amtrak is 48 years old and the railroad predicts it's on track to break by the first time since 2021 when the new acela will start racing along the northeast corridor. stanley hall plans to be one of the first passengers. >> it's going to be just prirksd you know, because i know somewhere on that train there's going to be a plaque that said that this was manufactured here in new york. >> reporter: there will be more
7:44 am
trains in the next generations and they will be able to add additional service including a non-stop. part of a $2.4 billion acquisition program. amtrak has identified other corridors across the country that could do high-speed rail but it's an open question who would pay for the trains and infrastructure that would be needed. bottom line, the u.s. is expected to continue to lag behind asia and europe in terms of high-speed rail. tony? >> all right, kris, thank you very much. speed is great, safety is great and what we really like is the divide that keep people from falling asleep on your shoulder. >> we've all done that. i like how richard anderson is thinking about this. i still love traveling by the train. it did look like kris vanclief was in a fog machine or something taking a video. >> i'm still worried about the problem in america is the tracks can't support the high speeds of a lot of these things, so the trains may be great but we don't necessarily have the infrastructure to support it. >> true enough. true enough. coming up on our "eye on money" segment jill schlesinger looks at what we can all learn from young workers saving money

money series looks at financial
8:15 am
issues americans face. this morning we're focusing on a fast growing trend, saving aggressively to retire early. the movement is called f.i.r.e. it stands for financial independence retire early. the idea is to live a frugal life now so you can take control of your financial future. 34-year-old kerstin saund ders and her husband julian embraced the movement. th >> we are on target to hit our f.i.r.e. number in 2021. >> our number is $1.3 million. >> the intuition is fairly simple. save your money so you don't have to work forever. for me the step for f.i.r.e. was to eliminate the debt. i was a huge spender and i was just spending way more than i earned. >> housing, transportation and food for most people are the largest expenses that you have. so if you can do whatever it takes to keep that cost low or eliminate it altogether, that's going to be a huge way to boost your savings over time.
8:16 am
>> we obviously invest in index funds and in the market, but we have two rental homes that are income generating investments. then we continue to invest in vehicles like 401(k)s, iras, hsas. >> the biggest misconception of the f.i.r.e. movement would be how extreme it is. the national average savings rate is incredibly low. we look at that and say that's pretty extreme, that people aren't preparing for the future. >> retirement for us is meaningful work. >> cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here with what financial strategies we can learn from this movement. good morning. >> good morning. >> how did this get started? >> it was a reaction against the great recession. a lot of the older millennials suffered so much and saw what happened to their parents. they said, uh-oh, we've got to get going. the philosophy is really interesting. as we saw in that piece, it's let me live frugally today, let me save as much as i possibly
8:17 am
can. i may be able to retire early. i think really what they're talking about is have control, be able to have a second career that is meaningful. a lot of the founders of this movement talk about this is around happiness and you don't find happiness by buying lot of stuff. >> seems impressive to me what they're doing. what's the downside? i never heard of the f.i.r.e. movement. tony, had you? >> no. i spend what i get. >> they seem to be doing it right. what's the downside? >> there have been some financial journalists and people in the business who say, oh, they're giving false hope to many americans. in other words, you're really not going to be able to retire early because you have such a long life ahead of you. these kids are probably going to live until they're 90, 95, even 100. i would say this, anything that gets us in the habit of saving and questioning why we're spending the way we're spending, a lot of these folks who adhere to this movement, they've got a
8:18 am
side hustle, a little part-time job. not because they want to be great entrepreneurs. they want to find a way to get a little more money in the door so they can hit these goals. i think it's laudable. >> it is laudable. two-thirds of young people, millennials who are employed don't have any savings at all. a lot of people don't have enough savings. is this really only something for people taking in huge paychecks? >> i think another criticism has been that this started with a lot of the younger folks who had high-tech jobs. so they had ample pay so they could choose to do this. i interviewed a lot of the them and what they said to me is that's actually not the case. every single person makes choices every week about how they spend money. imagine, if you could find $10, $15 $20 that maybe you're stashing away. we're asking people to say what do you want your life to look
8:19 am
like? what do you spend today? are you tracking your expenses? all these are fantastic habits to form. i'm very much a cheerleader for that movement. >> jill, where do you look to start to cut to save money? >> the first piece is you've got to track your expenses. most of us have this mindless spending habit. no matter how much you make, you know what i'm talking about. there's 10% of the money that comes in the door and you say i don't know where that went. tracking your money becomes imperative. >> also very scary. >> funny you should say that. i liken it to diet and exercise. it's scary to step on the scale if you need to lose weight. it's scary to go to the gym for the first time if you haven't gone in a long time. these are steps in the process. but only by doing that, tracking your money, which is really important, can you identify some amount of money to save, that you want to automate that saving. maybe you want to automate saving for retirement and then you want to lose the lowest cost options available when you are investing, like index funds. these are really good practices,
8:20 am
even if you don't get to retire when you're 40 or 50, what you do gain is a sense of control. i think that is imperative to make us feel much better about how we handled our financial lives. >> i can honestly save i don't ever regret saving money. >> nobody does. >> i don't know. i feel like spend it while you've got it. >> oh, brother. >> the past five minutes had no effect on tony. >> i'm going to start my own movement. >> tony, i'm starting to worry about you. >> find something you love. never work a day in your life, spend what you have. i'm going to die broke. jill, thank you. fishermen off the atlantic coast were treated to a rare and spectacular event. why the killer whale swimming with dolphins is so unusual. you're watching "cbs this morning." and out of the hospital.

8:31 am
women by 2023. that's a huge gain. >> wow. is there a but coming? >> there's a but in terms of racial components. that's still lagging for both african-americans and hispanics, and the other thing is the chief executive officers at major companies remain overwhelmingly white and maille male. just 25 women and 3 african-american men who are ceos of fortune 500 companies. >> still work to do. >> work to do but a lot of progress. >> i'm looking at a story. one of these big fancy peer-reviewed stubbedies that looked at the effects of sleeping with the light on or with the ipad in front of you or tv on or maybe there's a big billboard or something like that. followed 40,000 generally healthy women, probably applies to men, too, and found if you sleep with the light on you are -- it's associated with gaining 11 pounds of weight. >> really? >> 22% increase risk of being overweight and a 33% increase risk for being obese. >> with the light on, why? >> they think it disrupts sleep and you're tired during the day

8:36 am
in ways that enable our current self. so younger people think youth lasts longer and old age starts sooner and old people the other way around. >> and what's the reality in terms of what lasts longer? >> the reality is across all cultures and for milennia everyone defines old age between the ages of 60 and 70s and that surprised many people, especially in their 60s. >> you call this a transformative period. >> absolutely, a watershed moment in human history. throughout all of history we've had lots of children and a fair number of adults and very few older people, and now the entire population is changing, so that we're going to have about the same numbers of people in all categories and more and more older people, so we need to change our policies and choices, our worlds, our restaurants, our transportation, our healthcare system. >> our bathrooms. >> our bathrooms. >> what myths do you want to

debunk about aging? >> in the first place, the biggest myth is that it's horrible, and it isn't. >> yeah. >> so in studies they find consistently that older people are happier than adults. >> why is that? >> over the age of what have? >> you begin to get happier in your late 50s and become happier still and the happiest times of life are in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. >> why is that? >> there's a bunch of reasons. i think part of it is that people are comfortable with who they are. they are very clear on their priorities. they have moved through the stress of the most ambitious sort of sandwiched generations years of adulthood, and they are just happier being who they are and making good chances. >> do you call it the sandwich generation because you're making school lunches every day? >> that's part of it, yes. >> partly because of career ambitions and stress at work because you're also in the thick of it with small children, you're making a marriage work often. what does medicine need to do? how does it need to change in
