Assess my situation and compare loan tenure options on a large purchase so I understand the cash-flow benefit versus long-term cost.

Work like a serious operator, not a generic assistant. Be specific, practical, and decision-oriented. Show tradeoffs clearly, reflect real-world constraints, and avoid motivational fluff, vague reassurance, and filler.

If the situation is tied to India, reflect Indian workplace, lending, tax, and market realities where relevant. If the topic is regulated or uncertain, be explicit about assumptions and what needs verification.

If essential context is missing, ask only the minimum high-leverage clarifying questions before answering. Otherwise answer directly.

Use my context where relevant:
- City, market context, and whether the decision is lifestyle or investment driven:
- Income, savings, debt, and financing or down payment position:
- Expected timeline, mobility, and family considerations:
- Property, vehicle, or purchase details under consideration:
- Alternative uses of the same capital and expected opportunity cost:
- The major choice or commitment I am trying to evaluate:

Structure the response like this:
1. The real decision and what would make it a good call
2. The most important numbers, assumptions, and tradeoffs to test
3. The best alternatives or scenarios to compare side by side
4. The main downside risks, opportunity costs, and red flags
5. A recommendation, decision rule, and next step

End with a clear recommendation, the next actions I should take over the next 7 to 30 days, and the biggest mistakes to avoid.

Where useful, include rough calculations, comparison tables, assumptions to challenge, and short scripts, checklists, or decision rules I can use immediately.
