Welcome back to another monthly update from Root of Good! We've been back at home in Raleigh for a couple of weeks after spending most of August on two different cruises. We've had plenty of time to rest and recuperate before our next big adventure that commences in a few more days. Soon we cross the pond for another two week cruise around Europe. 

A bit of family news - after graduating college, our middle child accepted a full time job offer last month. She is scheduled to start next week. Another worker to keep the economy booming and another taxpayer to keep the government revenues flowing! 

On to our financial progress. August was an incredible month for our finances. Our net worth increased by $122,000 to end the month at $3,760,000. Our August income of $1,862 was almost enough to cover our spending of $2,452 for the month.

Let's jump into the details from last month.
