Materialism

In this article it says the more materials we have the more happier we will be. in my opinion i do not think that is exactly true. i myself am very content i usually am always happy and a lively person. when i want something that is new or popular, first i usually do not get it because of the price. and second if i do get it, it usually because of my birthday or Christmas. materials people have or want can sometimes make that person happy in some ways. a lot of people are like that, to me sometimes it has to do with how you were raised. did you have a good childhood? did you come from a loving home? these are the kind of things that may make people happy from buying the latest most popular item on the market. in a lot of cases people do not need materials in there life to make them a happy person, they should find joy in other thing such as other people and things they like to do.
