The S&P 500 continued to be relatively unchanged, falling 0.01% since the last update:

On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for May rose slightly to 5.5% with 280,000 new jobs created for the month and more than 1 million created so far in 2015. Oil prices were also flat as they hovered around the $60 level.

On the financial front, I have made no significant moves of note over the past month. I will likely be taking an additional distribution from my S Corporation before the next monthly update, but those funds will likely be used to offset the cost of having my house painted at some point this summer.

As for the non-financial, the next major event will be the young Frugalsons finishing their current school year in a couple of weeks. Hopefully they will make good use of their free time and enjoy themselves, because the real world will be upon them before they know it. :)
