Well, we're certainly too obsessed with possessions. Which means we think we _really need_ a lot more money than we really do need.
The bumpersticker "He Who Dies with the Most Toys, Wins," kinda says it all. I do know people who act like that, and their life is all about appearances: what you drive, what you wear, how big a house you have, and so on. When you get locked into that mindset, you close your mind to the very possibility of recognizing or considering a great many deeper issues about yourself or about the world in general.
