Am I the only one who will easily cross 100k but come up short on AQDs?

Mrs WTME cannot be convinced her children can be without us until they are a bit older. The first approved kid-less travel is next summer and it is off to the Maritimes we go.
I can sell her on anything but when it comes to the kids, I defer to her. Because I value my life.

High on the list of gifts might be:
- a drum set
- a sling shot
- a karaoke machine
- a herd of puppies, cats, lizards, or all three
- a chemistry set
- a basic carpentry tool kit (with hammer, at least)
- a box of permanent markers
- etc.
While she might remain convinced the kids cannot be without the two of you, I'm certain in short order she could be convinced that she can be without the kids.
There are always options.

Clearly the Mrs has a closer relationship with the kids than perhaps you do. I suggest you rectify this situation is short order. I would recommend frequently bringing them gifts.

I am the opposite. . .over $21K already but only at 61K and likely won't SE for the first time in 6 years. . . will be a hard one to swallow (my travel is mainly TATL). . .will be happy if I hit 75K.
