From the viewpoint of a native San Diegan, based on the people we know, I believe there is a great deal of “real” wealth in San Diego, and I also believe there are an equal or greater number of people here who simply try to give the “appearance of wealth”–but that is probably true in any given city. Whatever the case, if you are living the life you want to live–that’s what really matters.

For us, our spiritual core is the basis from which everything else in our lives evolve. It’s great having the means to do or have just about anything we want in life, but we’d find little meaning in any of it without our spiritual center. I know that is not true for everyone, and I make absolutely no judgement calls in that regard, but it has made a true difference in our lives, so I just thought I’d share that perspective on this topic.
