Stamp Act

Isn't the Stamp Act one of the reasons we went to war with Britain? Oh, wait, I digress..

The price of a postage stamp is gonig up to 41-cents in May. People can buy "forever" stamps that will lock in the price of a stamp against future increases.

My question is, who uses stamps anymore? In the age of e-commerce, I use ONE stamp every three months; to mail out my HOA dues. And I could elect to have that automatically withdrawn, but with constant assessments and increases, I'd rather write the check myself. But everything else; mortgage, credit card, car payments, insurance etc., I either pay or have debited online.

So keep your stinkin' stamps! I'm going to go drink some tea now.

Well, I still mail thank you notes and birthday cards the old fashioned way! With 2 brothers, 1 sister, all of them married, 8 kids between them, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends all over the place, I still use alot of stamps! Not to mention other correspondence that requires doing things through the US mail. .41 cents for a stinkin' stamp?Aaaahhhhhh!!!!

I'm getting old. I remember when a stamp cost 2 cents. And yes, I still use them for the same reason Deb does.

That's why the price of stamp is going up and up. More people are paying bills over the internet. I for one rather use snailmail because I always have a problem with my computer and if I need to pay something while it's down I have a hard time. And I am not too sure who is getting my banking acct. number over the internet. I also noticed that some businesses charge a fee if you don't take it through your bank.I still think the old fashion way is good, at least for me.

I use stamps for Christmas cards and I have three bills a month that don't offer an e-payment that I am comfortable with.
