So if the market drops say 10%, on a $300K condo that's $30 grand. for a person that makes $39,000 a year in that article, it would take her a a whole year to save that assuming her spending is zero and she makes $30K after taxes.
Would it be too much to ask for some rough calculations where you got the number of $900 mortgage interest?
