Default Re: How did you come up with your down payment?

We saved for our first deposit. 10% of $114,000 in 2001. We had to pay mortgage insurance. We have just refinanced and using the equity that has built up we were able to get a new mortgage with a down payment of 20% which negated the need for mortgage insurance.
