Do material things make you happy?

[gtek]

Only to an extent. Right now if a comet was heading for earth none of that stuff would mean anything at all.

Whats the use of new clothes with no place to go?
Whats the use of money with nothing to gain?
Only in the moment of diaster or closing of life do people realize this though.

I remember my 3rd grade teacher having a sign above the whiteboard that said
"10 years from now it wont matter what shoes you have on today"
That has stuck with me till this day.

Yup. Only to an extent though. I try not to depend on them for happiness.

they make me feel better about myself. like if i KNOW i have a nice outfit on, then i'm going to act accordingly. but the trouble is when those materialpossessions attract shallow people who you later find out are around you for all the wrong reasons, even if they don't realize what they're doing.makes me wary about meeting new people while wearing nice !++%.

if you have the things that matter like family and good friends than i think material things make you happier. i mean im happy to be loved and ride in my beatup ranger cause my people bought me that out of love. but id be happier if now i had my fam in my brand new 650 lol.

Material items are complete ego trips.

But sometimes you've earned it.
