For me, "true happiness" is doing things.

I occasionally need materials in order to do those things. It's difficult to play a guitar that you don't have, paint a wall with paint that you haven't bought yet, or bake brownies for your family if you have no cocoa in the pantry.

Consumerism can be extremely manipulative and nasty at times, but there are many positive things to be found in the material world. That is, after all, where I keep all my stuff.
