November was a good month. I'm all settled into my house, the OSU Buckeyes went undefeated, and the Bengals are making a dash for the playoffs! Here comes December and Christmas.

November 6, 2012 purchased my first shares in the taxable account:

VBMFX: 269.562 @$11.16 = $3008.31
December 1, 2012 purchased shares in taxable account. This will be a recurring monthly purchase, based on the difference between a 15 year home loan, and a 30 year home loan. According to my calculations, I will save more money by investing in stocks rather than paying my home off in 15 years.
VTSMX: $150
VBMFX: $100
