The world is full of things which could easily catch your attention , things are changing very rapidly now a days initially we started with tools and equipment required to ease our life , then we shifted our manufacturing towards the luxurious products . Now we don't buy things according to our need but for the pleasure and glory. That's the problem of humans , they never satisfied. There's a great quote about that is " If you think materialistic possession is happiness then you don't know what happiness really is ".Buying more stuff is associated with depression, anxiety and broken relationships. It is socially destructive and self-destructive . 

In reality an individual needs very less things then he thinks are needed to survive.In one study, the researchers tested a group of 18-year-olds, then re-tested them 12 years later. They were asked to rank the importance of different goals – jobs, money and status on one side, and self-acceptance, fellow feeling and belonging on the other. They were then given a standard diagnostic test to identify mental health problems. At the ages of both 18 and 30, materialistic people were more susceptible to disorders. But if in that period they became less materialistic, they became happier. Less possessions of things leads to a greater happiness as you value time, relationships and family instead of materialistic things.
