I don't think happiness is caused by (or diminished upon) on material goods. I also don't think material goods are objectively good or bad (although I have certainly bought things that actively make me happier). Happiness is an eternal conflict between what we have, what we think we should have and what we see others having. Even if you're at the top of the totem pole, happiness isn't guaranteed - where's the joy of having everything, only to see others struggling?
