It seems that wherever you turn prices are rising. It's the same in the UK.
Salaries and pensions do not rise to keep pace though.
Thank goodness there's DC to come to and let off steam!
Well think of it this way, the more people bank on line and transact online, the higher the price of stamps will go to keep folks employed to carry the mail. It is not that bad to me either... but don't blink, before you know it, you will be buying $2 stamps!!!! LOL
Since moving away from home I have sent my family cards and letters often, even though my parents have now learned to email.....nothing makes them happier than a letter. I think its a great deal. What else can you get for the price of a stamp?
Prices are rising though. Most of our friends (mainly Oxford grads) can't imagine how they will ever get on the property ladder in UK and we certainl won't have the retirement my parents will have. But then, I think in the main my generation is taking longer to get to work (gap years etc).
