Dave Ramsey’s “Common Sense” Advice Backfires—Neighbor’s DIY Fix Floods Our Entire Street
I can’t believe this actually happened. My next-door neighbor, Bob, finally took Dave Ramsey’s advice to “cut all unnecessary expenses” and decided to fix his own leaky pipe instead of calling a plumber. He watched some YouTube video, saved $150, and woke up to a 4 AM geyser in his basement. Now our entire cul-de-sac smells like wet carpet, there’s a sinkhole forming in front of my mailbox, and the HOA is threatening to fine every single one of us for “improper drainage management.” Bob is standing in his yard right now with a plunger and a bucket, yelling “I’m debt-free!” at the sunrise. Where’s the common sense in making your entire block pay for your penny-pinching? I swear, Dave Ramsey has never lived next to anyone with a leaky toilet and a can-do attitude.
