Top 5 Ways To Save Money On Gas

Excessively Lengthy Disclosure, Disclaimer, and Other D Words - Now with even more D words, or your money back!

I want to make it excessively clear just what kind of third rate, shady organization you're dealing with here and that I'm willing to do anything for a dime. This website was built to make money! Oh yeah, I said it.

Now American Express actually requires I use these sentences word for word on my website or they'll send a couple of big dudes over to my house to bust my kneecaps. Heck, I had to have my people kiss a lot of derriere (that's French for butt) just to get this site approved by those Draconian big wigs in their dreadfully drab offices.

But let's expand that just to keep my ducks in a row. I'll try to make money off of anything you do on this website which includes clicking on any link, not just those from American Express. That's right, no matter what you do, I'm trying to profit from it. [insert evil laugh here]

In summary, pretty much assume I'm one of those evil capitalists and that I have ambitions to take over the world by extracting every penny I can out of this website. In a few years I plan on buying a desert island with a volcano on it because that's the best place for a supervillain to have an evil lair.

Just to prove I really am evil, the credit card I get paid the most for is the American Express Platinum Card - apply for that one instead of any of those I recommend on this page or any page on this website. It's an expensive card but it's worth it (to me, not you).

PSA: Now for the kinder gentler disclaimer and public service announcement section. The number one way that a credit card company makes money from you is by charging interest. And once that happens, no amount of cash back or rebates is going to make up the difference.

And that's exactly what the credit cards want to happen - they want you in debt to them and they're willing to lure you in with attractive intro rates, cash bonuses to get you spending money, and rewards (like free gas). And once they get their hooks in you, it's hard to get rid of them.

So do yourself a favor, never spend more money on credit cards than you can afford to pay off as soon as your statement arrives. Capiche? There's big money in lending money. Think about all the biggest building in your city - how many of them are banks?

I'm willing to bet a bunch. If you want to turn the tables and make money lending money (instead of borrowing) then go visit a site called Prosper - they make it possible for good folks like you (and evil schemers like me) to make good money lending cash to people who need it.
