homes for sale: Save on your postage now! - 02/11/09 09:44 AM
Beginning May 11, 2009 the price of a postage stamp will increase $.02 cents to $.44 cents per stamp.  However, if you purchase the Forever Stamps at the $.42 rate now they will remain valid in the future regardless of the rate hikes.  In spite of the price increase, the post office lost $2.8 billion dollars last year due to the reduced mail volume.  They are considering going to 5 day delivery in an effort to save on costs.  They have already reduced the number of hours many of its employees are working.
Other new rates beginning May 11, 2009 are as follows:

If you feel like you are consistently putting unreasonable demands on yourself and others, or that mistakes are totally unaceptable at work or in your personal life you may be a perfectionist.
