September Start

August is over. September 1st is here. Labor Day on September 2nd.

Summer is not over. We still have about three weeks left. September is a transitional month, which means that there’s a lot of movement during the month. College students return to campus, school kids haul backpacks and lunch boxes while waiting for the bus or walking to school, and retailers are selling their wares at steep discounts. Our wallets could use the break.
