Are you happy with you get things that you like?
Do things make you happy?
do you buy unnecessary things?
Is it hard for you to save just because you splurge all your money on things?

hi tess No I do not buy things just to be buying, but I do shop for the things I need, and yes I am happy as a diabetic I must keep things on hand for low blood sugar time. So those are necessary purchases and if I were un happy would I buy them. I am not materialistic but practical and purchase what I need, and really its nobody's business but mine.I do not buy unnecessary things, and yes I allow myself one treat occasionally.Just because we may shop does not make us materialist at all. And why should we be unhappy with buying what we need and will use.

No I am not materialistic, honestly all I need is to know that my children are taken care of and that my bills are paid. The bare necessities are all I care about. I do not have a brand new car, I don't have designer clothes, and don't care too either.

I am not materialistic but a shopaholic. I just love to buy any thing that catches my eyes. I know this is a bad habit cos most of the items I bought locally or overseas were stuffs that I don't really need and most of them are left in my shelves at home collecting dust.

i think all people are but it depends on the level of being materialistic. i am very thrifty and stingy but when it comes to buying some stuff for my family members and bf, it's a different thing. but in general i am not an over spender. i hate squandering money esp for nonsense things.

I like nice things and it sure makes me happy. I usually buy stuffs for my house like appliances and gadgets which I can use everyday. But I buy those things because I need it and there's a need to it, and it doesn't sound materialistic to me. :)
