The majority of those going into debt do so by charging travel expenses on a credit card, with 20% of respondents saying they would rather skip a credit card payment and put the money toward a vacation. The mindset is “‘I can’t buy a house, I’m not sure I can afford college or grad school, so I might as well go to Spain and backpack. ”They think (credit card debt) is not as risky as it is. They don’t care so much about not getting into debt.”King adds that social media has changed the way many people think about travel. “Eventually, if I’m going to get a house, I’ll get a house.

☆ Opinion | Three Mothers’ Plea to the F.D.A.: Save Our Children

To the Editor:Re “Why Can’t More Children Get the Treatment That Saved My Son’s Life?,” by Elizabeth Currid-Halkett (Opinion guest essay, Feb. 24):Our three children, ages 5 and 7, battle a rare, relentless and ultimately fatal disease called cystinosis. We recently found hope in the initial phase of a gene therapy clinical trial that was shown to be safe and yielded very promising results — a therapy that could one day save our children’s lives. Our biggest fear is that it will not be accessible to them or others in desperate need. We applaud Dr. Marks’s wisdom and perspective. reviewers’ initial rejection is a cautionary tale of how patient access to lifesaving therapies could be impeded by a narrow interpretation of efficacy.

On Jan. 8, 2020, as I was parking my car, I got a long-awaited phone call from one of my son’s doctors. She informed me that our 7-month-old son, Eliot, had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a fatal neuromuscular disease. I can see my neighbor walking up her steps with groceries, a leaf falling, oblivious to the devastation below. It is caused by a genetic mutation on the X chromosome, thus the disease almost exclusively affects boys (one in 3,300). lose muscle mass and thus the ability to do basic things like run and walk.
