I guess my attitudes to money and material things have been affected both by our family history - my father's family was wealthy and then became "nouveau pauvre" [:)] and, my mother went the other way from the working class through a university scholarship into the middle class. She was the first in her family to get a university education, on the other side I had a relative who was a professor in the 18th century.... and then the education I went through certainly wasn't geared in a materialistic direction especially the religious college in Israel I was in [like one of those Madrassahs :)]. I don't doubt for one minute that money is good for having a happy life, but I don't get very excited about "stuff"....
