Are you materialistic?

[flibbage0]

The simple question,

Do you think you're materialistic?

Yes or No (poll would be nice)

 

[Castiel]

No, but I have lots of stuff.

 

[sHo0sH]

This is a forum mainly filled with people that buy a lot of electronics, I think that would be a resounding yes from most of the honest people on here...

So No

 

[placeholder]

Yes.

Very.

 

[mufcmark]

Yes if I'm being honest.

 

[sunnysingh]

I like to think I'm not but I'll be lying to myself.

 

[VoG]

not as much as i used to be.

 

[icedbullet]

Yes I am but only with gadgets and electronics for some strange reason. It's something I dislike about myself, I sometimes give my tech away to close family (e.g. gave my bro my 15" 2010 MBP when he moved away for work) etc which makes me feel a bit better.

 

[DJMK4]

Yes, and I get easily led on if someone goes in to a hobby I'll follow

 

[d_brennen]

No, but I have lots of shiny stuff.

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

Going of this definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialistic

To some extent yes. What I want to own in life (mainly a nice house) would reflect success in my career.

I don't care too much for cultural values and I think spiritual stuff is as much BS as religion.
I do value intelligence though.

 

[Bloomfield]

Yes, only when it comes to electronics though.

 

[Emphacy]

The definition for people who don't understand:

Materialistic describes a person who is markedly more concerned with material things (such as money and possessions) rather than spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values.

To some extent, yes.
I'm a Cancer, and my personality is a function of my home and all of my possessions, one of which is my computer. Without that, I'd probably be lost. I spend all my time trying to make money from my knowledge though.
Knowledge is a function of money in my opinion.

 

[Biohazard]

No.

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

I have always found that people who say belongings are not important are people who have not got nice things and have convinced themselves that .

I have always found that people who say belongings are not important are people who have not got nice things and have convinced themselves that .

I've noticed this myself too.

And yes, I do consider myself materialistic, constantly chasing the next shiny toy and don't so much worry about anything else.

Strong forum populace/question bias

 

[Dabbles]

I have always found that people who say belongings are not important are people who have not got nice things and have convinced themselves that .

Similar to the people who say that money isn't everything. It certainly is when you don't have any/enough.

 

[Cleeecooo]

I like money. I like my computer. So yea, but not very.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Yes.
