Think about all of the small business owners who have gone under already. They also own homes that they soon will not be able to pay for. When the unemployment and stimulus run out, thousands upon thousands will be left homeless and there will probably be a huge glut of homes. I don’t care if the mortgage rates drop to 0, if you have no income, you can’t make the payments.
Save, save, save.
