Comment on Employee Stock Purchase Plans by Dean

Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP) are great. The discount gives you an instant return (the closest thing to free money). If you hold the stock for 2 years you get to use the lower capital gains tax rate. As stated if the company isn’t very solid sell the stock and look for another employer. The taxes can be a little complicated but nothing that can’t be handled. If your not used to doing your own taxes I recommend you use a reliable tax guy. If you are you’ll need to bone up on the rules (qualified, disqualified etc.).

Hey Beatingtheindex!
I agree with you, 50 cents isn’t much to complain about, especially when you consider how much it costs to ship using UPS or Fedex. Thanks for sharing!
Humbly Yours,
The Mayor

Hi Andi and Al,
I love Forever Stamps, definitely one of the best products U.S.P.S. has ever come out with! And I agree with you, mailing “thank you’s” and “happy birthday’s” is so much better than e-mailing them!
Humbly Yours,
The Mayor

Greetings Krantcents!
Paying bills is how we use most of our stamps, with the occasional birthday card mixed in. I think if the prices keep increasing, maybe we’ll be switching to online payment as well…
Humbly Yours,
The Mayor

Complaining about $0.50 stamps? we’ve been paying that for years in Canada, in fact right now it costs $0.61 to post a latter within the country. $0.50 is a nice round number and should help the US Postal Service cut the deficit its enjoying….

I’m going to have to go with Forever Stamps. I think it only makes a difference to me because I’m old enough to remember that 1) it’s important to send things like thank you’s by letter instead of email, and 2) I remember when stamps were around 30 cents.

Most of my stamp usage was for paying bills. I have been paying my bills online for several years now. I think I buy a few stamps a year.
