Higher Stamp Prices!?!

Gas, food...now even the price of a postage stamp is going up. A first class stamp will cost you 42 cents beginning May 12th. That's a one cent increase. If you bought the forever stamp for 41 cents, you can still use it. The price on new forever stamps will also go up.

The costs of goods and services are going up faster the cost of your paycheck a year. Raises, if you get one, are only about three percent. So how does one survive in these times when life is more expensive than what you're bringing home?

Love to get your thoughts on this issue.
