Good for you. In my life experience people only want what they don't have. The rich want a happy family, the poor want to be rich, etc.
I've have bought so many things in my life from NEW cars, tv, phones, bike, boat, etc and the truth is none of them really satisfied me. The hype only last a few months, then I wanted new things again. The only thing that really satisfied me was spending time with my wife, kids and family, making those memories, you know. I'm not rich by all means, but I can afford most things people want from new cars to whatever. IMHO, I think you have to have a balance of things. Too much money but no family is not it, great family but no money not it either, etc. I know people who have money and are single and they say loneliness is a struggle. I know good family who says they living on paycheck to paycheck.
Whatever it is, I believe if you have a balance of family, money, love, fun, etc. then you are in good hands.
