Am I considered to be a materialistic person?

I just love my equipment and records and sometimes can't wait to come home from work and play.....I don't think i could be truly happy without all this stuff! Does this necessarily make me a materialistic person of sorts? Do others feel the same way towards their gear and assorted media collections? My wife thinks i'm obsessed and does not see the point of all this lol.

Relax.

As the great philosopher Sting has written: We are spirits in the material world.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a hobby if you stay under budget and your family doesn't suffer because of it.I'll never listen to all I have either.But every album and CD has a story or fond memory attached to it,and it's a comfort to have them near.

Ahhh, spirits, alcohol. Of course. And material, that would be the blondes. So Hefner, he was the most spiritual of us all!

For me it's both materialistic and hedonistic, it began with the music and the discovery that better gear lets met hear more deeply into the music. The only issue is that I often do have to remind myself that almost none of my friends or family share those feelings. 
More to discover
