Leaving SD for Orlando

[briansd1]

[quote=sdrealtor] We get to live on a daily basis the lifestyle most on enjoy on vacation or upon retirement.[/quote]

Most people’s idea of a vacation is a cruise or a stay at a resort where the entertainment is planned by an Activities Director.

The cookie cutter neighborhoods of San Diego try to give you a taste of that.

If that’s your idea of the good life, then why not live in Celebration, Florida?

[quote=scaredycat]it is generally better for human happiness to be doing financially better than those around you. your absolute level of wealth is far less important than being superior to those around you. numerous studies have proven this. To be more likely to be happy, you need to be somewhere where you are in the top third. it’s going to be tough in SD.[/quote]

D@mmit I gonna move to Somalia so I can wake up everyday to a big friggin’ O.

google “happiness relative wealth” and you’ll find lots of links to studies. You don’t need to be rich to be happy, you need to be doing better than those around you. You can protest all you want, about how you don’t care how you stack up next to your neighbor, but it’s pretty unlikely you’re being truthful with yourself. We’re hard-wired tobe this way, something about survival and brain stuff and reproduction. We compete locally. There probably are a few enlightened souls here and there who are truly above the fray, but the local realtors, attorneys, engineers? probably not…we all probably wan tto be doing at least as good as the mean, and preferably a lot better. And certainly better than the average slob in the area.

And yeah, if you could be the local village warlord in somalia, you’d probably be damned happy! But if you just showed up with a bunch of traveler’s checks? not so much….money being just shorthand for power in our local neck of the woods…

I hate the idea of a cruise and would go on one nor do I like planned activities. Clearly we have very different ideas of what constitutes a vacation.
