<prompt> Human: I need some advice. I may be moving to LA in 3 months and here is my situation. Moving from Detroit and made 74,500 in 2017. Ive spoke with a friend thats a real estate agent that used to live in LA and he helped. Then he directed me towards his financial advisor that currently lives in LA. They both said 120,000 would put me in a comfortable situation, and that is assuming I dont have good company benefits like medical insurance. Truth is, my medical benefits are outstanding. My friend and his advisor both say that my benefits will save me around 12,000 per year. So here are more details; Im looking around Redondo beach for a 1 bedroom or even a studio 2,000 to 2,300 per month, and I plan to buy a new truck I estimate 900per month including insurance. With all other monthly expenses I developed a reasonable salary... 105,000 gross pay. Does anybody have advice, comments, andor questions?Edit: I am genuinely coming here for advice. I dont mean it to seam like Im bragging. After all, I am seeking this subs advice after speaking with a real estate agent and a local financial advisor. I have a lot of respect for this sub.Thanks for all of your comments and questions so far  <response>: If you will live in redondo do not buy a truck. It will not fit anywhere. You will not be able to park it. Having a truck in LA is a very bad idea.
