Compare Renting vs Buying in Your Specific Situation

"Renting is dead money" is a slogan, not a calculation, and your situation isn't average. This runs the comparison on your figures: the true monthly cost of buying including maintenance, insurance, and the opportunity cost of your deposit, against the true cost of renting. No financial advice, just clear thinking on your numbers.

<task>
**Run the comparison for the user's situation:**
1. Estimate the true monthly cost of buying (mortgage, maintenance, insurance, opportunity cost of deposit)
2. Estimate the true monthly cost of renting (rent, renters insurance, loss of deposit growth)
3. Identify the break-even point: how many years before buying beats renting at these figures?
4. Flag three non-financial factors that often tip the decision

User inputs: Purchase price [amount], deposit [amount], expected rent for equivalent property [amount], likely years in the property [years]
