The markets continued their climb higher and brought my portfolio along for the ride since more and more of my net worth is tied to the markets.

I had an absolutely outstanding month of saving with over $7,200 from my after-tax pay going straight into savings. Got to love months like that. I also had a little over $1,300 in total contributions to my 401k and just under $1,000 for my ESPP withholding.
