By now you may have heard that the price of stamps is going up to May 12th to 42 cents for a first class stamp. In care anyone was wondering the price went up to 41 cents last May 14th. Now my point is do you really care? I mean the amount of stamps that I send is next to none! So how does this all affect the Long Beach real estate market? Well it is a sign of the times that costs are rising and the costs of fuel and other necessities are driving costs up even for the post office.
So how do make sure that the price of stamps doesn't affect you or affects you so little that you won't even care? Let's look at a few ways to save the penny because after all pennies add up and you can use the difference to put into Long Beach real estate if you want to!
- Online Bill Pay - I don't know if I even use 1 stamp a month to send bills. I pay them all online and thereby I am not affected at all. Check with your bank to see what services they offer and by the way they should be free!
- E-mail - This has been taking away business from the post office for a long time. Send an e-mail and worry no more about having enough stamps at your home.
- Bloggging - Don't want to spend your time on writing tons of e-mail to family? Set-up a blog for free at wordpress.com or blogger.com and just let your family and friends know that they can check in for the latest updates.
