On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for November fell to 3.5%, with a strong 266,000 new jobs created. Oil prices are up a bit to the $59 level, with a steady local unleaded regular gasoline price of $2.31 per gallon at my last fill up.

On the financial front, my assets have again hit an all-time high, surpassing the previous high from November 2019. I did take an additional distribution from my S Corp and have taken steps to max out my 2019 solo 401k employee contribution as I wrap up the 2019 tax year.

As for the non-financial, Christmas is just a couple of weeks away. I'm looking forward to enjoying a little time off with friends and family.
