Problem

Adults aged 55-65 who sell their large home after children move out have no basis to determine which option — purchasing a smaller apartment, Jeonse (Lease Deposit), Monthly Rent, or relocating to rural areas — is most advantageous long-term. Comparing the 30-year total housing cost across each option (property appreciation/depreciation, Jeonse deposit opportunity cost, Monthly Rent escalation rate, rural relocation initial costs) requires manual Excel simulation, but with too many variables, people give up and decide by 'gut feeling.'

Solution

On the web: (1) Enter estimated sale amount and current assets, (2) simulate 30-year total costs across 4 alternative housing scenarios — small apartment purchase / Jeonse (Lease Deposit) / Monthly Rent / rural relocation, and (3) display comparison graphs of asset depletion timeline, monthly housing cost trends, and healthcare accessibility scores.

Target: Ages 57-65 with children fully independent, planning to sell 100+ sqm apartments in Seoul/metropolitan area, couples planning a 2-person housing transition
