So Money with Farnoosh Torabi · Friday, August 28, 2026
In addition to the six money annoyances detailed in a New York Times article, host Farnoosh Torabi shared three personal grievances: the difficulty of managing children's allowances, the ubiquity and increasing cost of credit card surcharges, and the persistent rise of property taxes. She questioned the complexity of these everyday financial aspects.
“And while we're at it, I have a few grievances of my own. A few things to add to this list of six. Number seven: managing my kids' allowances.”
“Second, credit card surcharges. This one has really gotten out of hand.”
“And finally, speaking of taxes, I hate property taxes.”
