Personally it's nice to have nice things but not necessary for a good, fulfilling life. Most of our needs and wants can be attained without enormous sums of money. The more materialistic our society becomes, the less appealing it really is and the more likely we will see a large, earnest correction in the future to be honest.

“We've got a form of brainwashing going on in our country…. Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. MORE IS GOOD. MORE IS GOOD. We repeat it--and have it repeated to us--over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore.” - Morrie Schwartz
