The myth that quietly empties people's savings π
"Put everything down β bigger down payment is always smarter."
Sometimes. But I've watched buyers drain every dollar into the down payment and move into a house with no cushion left for the water heater, the roof, or life.
A slightly smaller down payment with reserves intact can be the stronger move.
The right answer lives in your full picture β not in a rule of thumb.
