Let's see, I use stamps to pay my car insurance every 6 months. I don't even know if they offer an automatic payment option. I should look in to that. I use a stamp when I send in monthly tax forms for my business. The city is a little bit slow when it comes to technology. I still pay my credit card bill (which I pay off each month) by mail. I guess I just don't trust them with my bank account information. And of course, Christmas cards, birthday cards, etc... still get a stamp.
Lucky for us the post office sells Forever Stamps. Those are the stamps that automatically adjust to the higher postage rate which means we can still use them after the hike. I bought some of those stamps last year. They will be worth one cent more starting in May. The anchor woman joked that Forever Stamps bought before the rate hike will increase 2.4% in value. Wow! My bank's Money Market Savings account only has a 1.7% rate of return. Maybe I should be investing in stamps.

It's my understanding that the price hike on Forever stamps will always stay with inflation. Thus, Forever stamps aren't really an investment, since technically they'll always cost "the same."
