The Stacking Benjamins Show

Yeah, We Overpaid for That (SB1656)


Listen Later

Ever feel guilty about that $7 airport coffee or the mystery fees that somehow turn your $15 DoorDash order into a $40 financial regret? You’re not alone. This episode, Joe Saul-Sehy is joined by Paula Pant (Afford Anything) and Justin Peters (The Struggle Is Real) to unravel the sneaky ways convenience drains our wallets.

In this episode:


  • Airport Food: The Ultimate Financial Heist – Why does a sad turkey sandwich cost more than a steak dinner? We investigate.
  • Concert Tickets & Junk Fees – You found $50 tickets… but somehow the total is now $127? Yep, we’ve been there.
  • The True Cost of Convenience – From Uber Eats to express shipping, when is paying extra worth it—and when are we just being lazy?
  • Trivia Time: Pie Day Special! – Who knew McDonald's pie sales could spark heated debate? Well, now we all do.
  • Wedding Costs Gone Wild – Creative ways to cut costs without making your guests eat ramen.
  • The Ben Franklin Effect & Social Hacks – Want better connections without breaking the bank? Turns out, old Ben had some wisdom on that, too.


    All this, plus some hilarious personal finance confessions that will make you feel better about your last impulse buy.

    🎧 Tune in, laugh, and learn how to keep more of your Benjamins!
