The discover more card is a great tool for saving money. But always be careful not to get into debt you cannot pay off each and every month. Think of them like a gun. They can be a source of good or a burden of evil.

The commenter above cracks me up: “The discover more card is a great tool for saving money.”

Does anyone else see how crazy that sentence is, or is it just me?

Why is it crazy? 5% cashback saves 5% on some purchases. As long as you don’t buy more than you would’ve otherwise, it does save money. Saves me money on gas.
