Here are my current Financial assets as of the market close on September 11th, 2017:

The S&P 500 has continued to climb since the last update, rising 0.57% during that time:

On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for August inched up to 4.4%, as "only" 156,000 new jobs created. Oil prices have actually fallen a bit to the $48 level, although gas prices around here spiked about 40¢ per gallon last week due to several Houston-area oil refineries being knocked offline by Hurricane Harvey.

On the financial front, my asset levels have reached an all-time high for the TENTH month in a row, breaking the previous high from August 2017. As for money moves, I intend to make an additional 2017 Sep Ira employer contribution later this month after some of my client invoices have been paid.

As for the non-financial, my kids have returned to school and my oldest will start the college application process shortly. One year from now we should see a bit of shrinkage in that 529 Plan balance that's been growing since I started this blog. I've also been working on a small side project to build a lawn striper similar to a commercial one I saw reviewed in a YouTube video. I've been toying with the idea of writing up a detailed build here with the hope that it may help someone else. Hopefully I'll be able to get to that soon. :D
