Invest In Postage

On April 12, the United States Postal Service released a 41 cent stamp called the Forever Stamp. The PO claims that this stamp will be valid forever, no matter what the rate for a stamp may be at the time.

I confirmed this with my local postman and he says the stamps will indeed be valid as first class postage on a one-ounce single letter forever (or as long as the USPS stays in business). The post office wanted to make the price increase on May 14 more convenient for its customers and eliminate the need for future make up stamps.

The 41 cent Forever Stamp features a picture of the Liberty Bell and is not stamped with a price. Be sure to stock up on the Forever Stamp–can you imagine your satisfaction the day everyone else is paying $1.00 or more to mail a letter and you are still spending only 41 cents? They are available at any US Post Office, the US Postal Service Web site, or by phone at 1-800-782-6724.
