Finding Auto Service
From PTMoney.com
One of my least favorite things to do in life is deal with my car. Not because of the car itself.

USPS Postal Rate Increase
Get those Forever Stamps purchased before January 22nd! First class postage goes up a cent, but that's nothing compared to shipping rates:
The U.S. Postal Service has proposed new 2012 shipping rates that are expected to start on January 22, 2012. The average increase for all shipping classes is 4.6%.
Private carriers such as UPS and FedEx have already announced price increases for 2012. UPS announced they are increasing prices on ground and air shipments by an average of 4.9%.
In September, FedEx announced it would increase rates by an average of 3.9%. The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) must review and approve the new rates before they become effective January 22, 2012.
This is the same day the new USPS mailing service prices will take effect. Read the details.

4 Reasons to Stop Saving for Retirement
From Stretcher.com
This introduction may run contrary to the title of this post, but I cannot overemphasize the importance of saving for retirement. If you are saving now, consider saving more. If you haven't started yet, you'd better get going.
You can't start too early, and for the most part, you can't save too much. You may, however, be in a specific financial circumstance that justifies temporarily or permanently ceasing your retirement contributions.
If you're in one of these four situations, then it may make sense to give your retirement account a break. 4 Reasons to Stop Saving for Retirement.
