Well, if you live in an area where your mortgage is equal or less than what it would cost to rent, then I think homeownership is a wise investment. You have to pay to live somewhere, right, might as well go towards ownership rather than into the landlord's pocket.
This is my pretty girl, sitting on my laptop case, which she does every time I work from home. She's nuts. She gets a wet food pouch in the evenings too, and when DH is home she cries to Daddy to have him turn the water on in the bathroom sink to drink out of.
I wish Luna would cry for something that amusing. She just cries to be fed, even though she already has food in her dish. 
So adorable.
We took my parents to WDW after I finished 15 months of chemo, radiation and surgeries. They lived 10 hours away and spent a lot of time sleeping on our couch, helping to care for our 1st grader and providing me a lot of emotional support. They accepted graciously, and we all have wonderful memories of that trip. My mother hates FL, and they would have never seen my son enjoy WDW on their own.
Gave me chills. Very sweet. You are a good child
We just did something similar with my ILs, we split the cruise fare/travel costs for them with my BILs and their spouses. I also leveraged credit card points to keep our costs all down as much as possible. It was a big gift from everyone for all they had done over the years. We told them at Christmas so they had ~7mths of planning/budgeting.
I am 49, my parents are long gone, but when I was you DD's age I was married with a child. DH and I had been saving to take my parents on a trip with us, and we asked they reacted the same as you! It's adorable. But I would like you to know - being able to do that for my parents brought me the kind of joy that only comes once in a blue moon. I was absolutely elated when they agreed! Yes, I had to talk them into it, they were always frugal planners and it was kicking them out of their comfort zone. But, no one had done anything for them like this, either so for me to be able to was beyond special to me. And I couldn't help but watch them enjoying it the whole time we were there, so best gift to me! My advice - if you can swing your part, let them do this. Mine are gone, and it's still one of my most precious memories - giving something back to the most important people in my young life!
Let them if they want to do this for you. My parents' 50th anniversary is this fall. I wanted to do something nice for them, so we got them tickets plus parking to a concert/comedy show with big names they've wanted to see, along with a gift card for dinner. They kept saying how generous we were but, they've done so much for us over the years that we wanted to reciprocate.
For me not really, but I can't think of any new found funds we have had. Sounds good, keep on going. Your SUV balance is really low, looks like that can be paid off fast if the amount stated is applied to it. I really hate shopping for new vehicles and already have new car regret in hindsight from what I ended up buying last year when I replaced my Acadia (didn't quite make it 10 years like I had planned), wishing I went a lot smaller, however, there are some aspects of it I'm enjoying and it fits in the carport! But, didn't plan well to take the time to replace my car while it had some life before it became immediately needing either to be replaced or work and expense overhaul.
