On July 13, the price of the “Forever” stamp went up again from 73 cents to 78 cents—seven price increases in 4 years.
And on the face of it, that may not seem like a lot—but it is. It is, for people who use regular mail—to write to their families, or to pay their bills by check—all those people who do not have or use computers, or autopay. And often, these are older people, on fixed incomes, and people with less resources.
Those resources have to stretch until the end of the month. For food, housing, electricity, phone and everything else people need. And all those things are going up, as well.
Price increases would be no problem if every time prices go up, wages and other income sources, like Social Security, go up, too!
