I didn't say that it did. But, people who make a 20 percent down payment are much more likely to avoid a foreclosure, when the cost of living increases, than those who have little or no equity in their house. Obviously, if you depend on your income to make mortgage payments, and you lose your job, you cannot make the payments.
