On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for October rose to 3.6%, with 128,000 new jobs created. Oil prices recovered a bit to the $57 level, with a local unleaded regular gasoline price of $2.31 per gallon at my last fill up. Hopefully, signs that recession fears are easing will win the day.

On the financial front, my assets have again hit an all-time high, surpassing the previous high from July 2019. As the year closes out I plan on taking a final 2019 distribution from my S Corp and will adjust my payroll to try to max out my 2019 solo 401k employee contribution.

As for the non-financial, Thanksgiving is close and Christmas/New Year celebrations aren't far behind. I'm so not ready to shovel snow.
