In this episode of the Ramsey Show, Jeremy called in about his leaky roof. Thankfully, the leak was only on his porch roof. However, the roof is so old that he is afraid that it will collapse any time. On the other hand, Jeremy also has a bunch of debt that he would like to pay off because the interest rate is extremely high.

Dave advises Jeremy to first fix the roof because it won’t be very expensive. It would also be much worse if it were to collapse and they don’t have the money to fix it. However, Jeremy should still do everything in his power to pay off the debt shortly after so that it stops accruing interest.
