fees

You are going to see an increase in your bills at various retail locations in New York State for using a credit card. That means we will all be paying a little more if you take out your plastic.

The new plastic bag ban went into effect yesterday, but the state is giving stores an extra month to be assessed fines.

The votes are in and New York state-licensed vehicles will be sporting a new license plate in 2020. Here's how the voting broke down and the winning plate.

If you need to get a passport for the first time or you let your old one expire like me, you better hurry and get it done because it will cost you more soon.

I hate flying for so many reasons but these days it is getting more and more frustrating with all of the added fees and "upgrade" options. You want legroom? You pay more. You want an extra bag? You pay more. You want a decent drink or snack? You pay more. To me, the airlines are stating to get more and more like the State of New York, just trying to find creative ways to increase revenue

You can ask anyone, I never carry cash anymore.  I use my debit card or credit card where ever I go.   In fact, I bet if I asked most people, they would say they don’t carry cash anymore either!  But what if you were offered a discount at restaurants or stores to use cash, would you do it?
