Another month has flown by, and as I’ve continued to avoid paying too much attention to the stock market, it’s up another 2% and some change. Work has been pretty consuming, so dwelling on money movements has been less appealing than usual. I continue to be suspicious about the growth we’re experiencing, but as usual, I’m changing nothing about what I’m doing despite the suspicion.

The big update here is that we have reached $1.3MM in invested assets, a mere two months after we hit $1.2MM. Even our house has recovered a little value, though I continue to see the houses for sale in my neighborhood linger and suffer from price drops. Our vacation savings rate continues to outpace our vacation spending, and I’m starting to become optimistic that we will hit our target sabbatical savings by the end of the year. After that, it’ll be back to shoveling money in the MBDR furnace.
