Do material things make you happy?

[jumpman247]

I don't know about you but material things make me happy, I don't understand how people can say they don't make you happy. Family is great too, Ilove my family, but nothing can beat the feeling of going shopping and buying clothes, or buying a new car, or a house (even though I've never purchased myown house) Those things make you feel wonderful, material things are the best.

You said it my man

 

[shatterkneesinc]

not by myself

 

[Jordan8]

Yes.

If material things was all I had, then probably not. But they do. It seems like the ones that say "they don'tmake me happy" are the ones that don't have material possessions to speak of. Don't get me wrong, my life doesn't revolve around electronics,money, and clothes...but I'd be a very bored individual without them.

Material things never satisfy me for as long as I expect them to. So no.
Rather, i think that the act of acquiring material things satisfies me.
In other words satisfying my greed satisfies me.

 

[lu cash]

Yes.

Material things makes you happy for a short period of time, imo. At the end of the day, these things are just materialistic, it doesn't matter u kno?

You have an empty life then my brother. Material possessions are nice, but they aren't everything.

there's your answer. You get sick of them and then buy more. So you're never really happy, just temporarily.

 

[doctorshoes]

Yeah they definitely make me happy, especially when I get to use them often.

 

[paulbaekr]

When I think that way, I remind myself none of it lasts forever.
