I am very proud of the nice things I have earned in my life, If that's materialistic then yes, I am

I've worked hard for my stuff, damn right I'm gonna value it highly

I wouldn't say so - I'm happy with what I have though; which is the means/tools to be invent and be creative. It would help if we had a scenario to go on though.

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 like my stuff, I enjoy my stuff, however in compression to what is really important in my life, it is only stuff.

I have plenty of nice shiny stuff btw.

Friends/personal relationships > stuff.

I do agree with you, but that doesn't mean belongings are not important though.

Not really - I just buy nice things.

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

No it's not. Money isn't everything. Would you sell your child?

Money is not everything, but it is a heavy factor in being happy.

Money alone certainly doesn't equal happiness, however there is no situation that I can think of that wouldn't be better if you had £££.

Money is just a means of exchange, it has no innate value other than that. You can be just as happy poor as rich, it depends on you as an individual and in this respect money is nothing.

Money doesnt create happiness but it certainly takes the edge off being poor.

I'm more interested in developing myself intellectually than getting material items, however I feel as though I'm still a bit below the threshold at which I would have enough monetary and material wealth to be totally content.

Well, you seem to be suggesting the position of planets/stars etc at the time of your birth has somehow shaped your personality. Obviously anything you say after that are the ramblings of a lunatic.

Yuh uh.

It can also have the opposite effect, which is kinda my point.

Many people would disagree. Bring me the facts and maybe I'll consider your argument as a decent one.
Personally I see a pattern in Psychology, Philosophy and Astrology, maybe because I've done a lot of reading on the subjects.

It's a matter of opinion, you can't prove it true nor false and you should realise that.

I think you should do some reading on the subject at hand before coming out with complete gibberish. It's got more to do with a Physiological Pattern than any alignment of constellations. It may have been so thousands of years ago, but it isn't anymore.
