7:09 am
that can be anything from, oh, my gosh, i got an illness. >> leaky roof. >> the washer and dryer just exploded, something bad happened, or a car repair. we notice a lot of parents help their adult children with car repairs. so one of the things i've always talked about especially after the holiday season in terms of what you should be doing, you should be focused on the big three. did you incur some credit card debt over the holidays. number one, let's make a plan to pay that down. number two, did you andre some money out of your reserve fund. i know you hate me telling you this. six months should be kept safe. >> i was going to say how much should you save? >> six months. >> most people can't do that. >> we have to strive for something. the other part is once those two things are done, please try to maximize your tax plan contribution. your
7:10 am
$6,000 if you're over the age of 50. $5,500 in your rockth i.r.a. or i.r.a. >> what do you think about coming off of stocks? >> this is a perfect time to say, let me look at what i have. let me look at what's in my retirement account and should i rebans it. that means if you're the kind of investor who doesn't love risk, maybe you started by saying 50% stocks, 50% bonds. the stocks were so good this year you might have done 70%. take some of the stocks and move it into the bonds and rebalance those allocations. the other part that's really important. many people are in these big plans. they get company stock as part of their 401(k). rebalance that as well becau
7:11 am
you don't want to take extra risks unnecessarily. >> and the people that don't have stocks say, look, i overspent this holiday season. getting back on track, you recommend? >> i think the most important thing is to have an expense tracker. there's really good ones. mint.com, you need a budget. keep track of how you're spending your money. go to your annual report.com once a year check those credit reports, check any errors, and be clear. guard that identity like it's like your body. >> like the data breach. >> you got it. >> is there something called you need a budget? >> you need a budget, ynab. >> okay. i like that. >> you don't need a budget. >> jill, thank you so much. all the best to everybody in 2018, everybody. >> she said, you don't know what i need. that's true. all right. the nfl's regular season wrapped up yesterday evening.
7:12 am
shows no signs of slowing down. he said it's due to his unique fitness and diet regime. it's described in his new book. it's published by simon & schuster, a division of cbs. in the beginning he gave us annan sight look at his routine and a look at success. >> i want to keep my muscles strong and active but also pliable. >> you describe pliability as lengthening and softening of muscles. >> yeah. >> everybody things they want muscles to be harder. >> i think that's what we've been educated on. i would argue differently. i've seen strong physically fit guys that are the definition of health who are injured the most. if i can keep my muscles pliable i can hopefully limit the intensity altogether
7:13 am
some of this. >> compare that to brady who is just wrapping up his 18th regular season. he credits his longevity to a more holistic approach to fitness. >> we talk about rehab all the time, right? we get injured and go to relab. you talk about pliability in terms of prehab. >> yes. everyone can do it. my parents, my sisters. i did pliability on my son this morning whose leg was sore. he's 8 year's old. >> you're trying to make the case that pliability is a whole different way to look at athleticism. >> it's a philosophy he invented after meeting his longtime trainer alex guerrero. >> you describe him as an engineer. >> yeah. he started
7:14 am
softening all the muscle in my forearm and it took away the tension in the muscle and i was like, god, that makes so much sense. >> it would increase your strength while limiting the density of the muscle. the dense of the muscle, means the less pliable it is. most of all of our workouts are resistant band-spaced. >> his sports center doesn't look like an average gym. 90% of the training is done with flexibility bands followed by very specific massage techniques. >> i would say i'm faster now and quicker than when i first starred playing football even in high school. >> you're fast ore at 40 than you were at 18? >> yeah, i am. >> all of my friends who are moms are going to be saying to their
7:15 am
better now his 40s than when hoe was 18. >> you want to play football in your mid-40s. >> yeah. >> gisele agrees with that? >> she would say, ten years ago you told me ten years and now you say another five years. >> do you worry about concussions? >> i'm not worried about them. yeah, i'm conscious of it, but i also love the sport so much that i want to keep playing and i'm going to do everything i can to take care of my body in advance of the hits i'm going to take on sunday. >> wow. >> that's a word i think, norah, for 2018. pliability. i know you like him. i like him too. he looks good, feels good too. >> i need to buy more bands. i have been doing it. >> it makes a difference. norah can throw a football. >> i try. this time of year many people want to escape
7:16 am
for others, there's no better time to dive in. some tourists pay around $20,000 for a trip of the lifetime to antarctica. the money helps subsidize researchers who go on the expedition. mark phillips joins us. good morning and happy new year. >> happy new year to you. a lot of people go on tour. one big thing has changed, though, this year, the u.s. pullout of the paris climate agreement. it's made for a new kind of tourism and a new kind of science. ready for more than your average holiday. coming to antarctica as a tourist can be a truly shocking experience. it's a trip for the intrepid and not just you can
7:17 am
it's a full immersion experience in so many ways. the operators don't call these cruises. they call them expeditions, and that's not just a way of adds to the romance of following in the footsteps of the great explorers, of seeing things way off the beaten track. it's because these trips also involve science like the research that eric is doing. this documenting of the ever-increasing speed of glacial ice floe probably wouldn't happen if the tourists didn't come. >> here you get this hybrid mix where people are paying big bucks to come down as a tourist trip, but that also helps the kind of work that you do. >> i think, yeah, it is a formula that i would like to see
7:18 am
with an administration of climate exchange skeptics in washington, the science that gets done on these trips might not otherwise happen. >> you can clearly see this big trend of increasing temperatures that has been happening. >> reporter: ken taylor is one of the world's eminent scientists whose work include the science history, and he said the writing about funding cuts has been o the wall since day 1. >> well, we've already gotten indications from our federal funding agencies that we should anticipate budget cuts. it didn't take very long after the election for that word to come down. >> reporter: even when research is government-funded, the money doesn't go far enough. job durban uses a drone to check on the welfare of antarctic whales in the changing times, but there's no way he and his
7:19 am
co-researcher poly fernbeck would be here if they didn't get a ride who see, bringing natural scientists along as part of the appeal to their customers. >> it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. it's a wonderful relationship that we have. >> reporter: a relationship that has to continue if the work is to go on. >> this is the seventh year in a row we've conducted research on this ship. we've studied animals that are as old as we do. to understand them takes multiple years. >> reporter: the tourists are effectively underwrietding the science, part of the substantial ticket prices for adventures like this goes for the cost to cover the work done onboard and not only do the tourists mind, but they think it's a good
7:20 am
many like laurie fosten came here for more than the thrills. >> i think it's a shame that the skrie science is in the cross hairs of politics. it doesn't take much to understand we're having a detrimental effect on the world. >> reporter: they come here for the experience and leave with even more memories. they leave with knowledge. the scientists on board give the tourists a sense of purpose, and if it weren't for the tourists, the scientists wouldn't be here. it's a marriage made in heaven. the tour operators we went with and others say people that bring them come as tourists, but they leave as ambassadors. norah? >> mark, thank you so much. a beautiful study and great reporting. >> that sounds like a success.
