Need a Stamp? It's Going to Cost You

We remember when it cost 29 cents to mail a letter. Bless online bill pay, because starting today the USPS is jacking up (albeit by only two cents) the price of a first-class stamp to 44 cents. Is it in poor taste to have mailed holiday cards a wee bit early?

Kim, you are so not kidding on the online bill pay thing. The only thing I pay with a physical check these days is my rent, and I hand that directly to my landlord. The reason the Postal Service is struggling is because no one posts anything anymore, except perhaps our grandmas, who still send $1 for every birthday you have (Yey, I'm getting $26 this year!).
