## Resource

The U.S. Postal Service is raising postage prices again—starting July 12th, Forever stamps jump to 82 cents, postcards to 65 cents, and international mail surges to $1.75. With a decade-long net loss and a 2016 law forcing pre-payment for retiree health benefits, the USPS is scrambling to stay afloat. This isn’t the first price hike in a year—expect to use your stamps sooner rather than later. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
