Question
Is it possible to live a happy life without material possessions?
It seems everything is about money...is it possible to live without it?
Answer
There are degrees of materialism. brTo be totally non materialistic would define a complete isolationist who is content living under a rock out in nature. brbrI personally love some of my material things. Compared to some people my life would appear simple. To others I would be viewed as having great wealth. I have a car. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Three TVs Food, clothing, heat, water, air conditioning, clothing to spare. etc.brbrCompared to others I live a simple uncomplicated life. except for the fact that I have three computersbrbrThus, I consider myself to have all that I need and then some. It is all subjective.brbrI have also been part of the world where there is great wealth. And believe me after being in a bad marriage with lots of money, trips, cars, homes, etc, I was less happy becasue there was a lack of trust and love. I would still rather live under the freeway in a cardborad box with a good man than in a mansion with a bad one.
