The S&P 500 has to near all time highs over the past month, rising 3.85% since the last update:

On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for May remained flat at 6.3% while all of the jobs lost during the recession have finally been recovered. Oil prices remained fairly flat at about $104 over the past month.
On the financial front, my assets have once again surpassed their previous all time high from May and are closing in on the $1.2M threshold. I don't have any pending money moves at the moment, but it will be interesting to see what the stock market will do throughout 2014. Right now the S&P 500 is up about 5.5% for the year and I imagine we'd need some very positive economic news for the index to move much higher.
For the non-financial, I'm currently suffering through the green pollen season we're having in the Northeast (achoo!). Also, the next big event on the horizon is the young Frugalsons being done with the school year in a couple of weeks. I'm sure they'll miss school very much as they enjoy 2+ months of fun in the sun. ;)
