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.

Don't care much about blondes. Of course, you are materialistic to a degree. We are physical, you know, 'materialistic', in a manner of speaking, whatever else we might be. When it crosses certain line and becomes something which is hard or impossible to consider normal - that's another matter. Women are jealous and envious, no doubt. So are men.

Monks are not materialistic.
All others are.
It is a matter of degree.

You may be paying more attention to your gear than your wife.
That's competition. Love the story about the San Jose techie
whose wife thought he had overdone it and while he was traveling
had goodwill make a pickup of all his stuff.

Buy her a toy that she may find replaces her need for you.
Like a Sybian.

Monks are in deep denial of the human nature, they are materialistic too.

I don't love anything else I own but my stereo, it's always been like that, probably always will. I make no excuses, respectfully care not what others think about it. It's just me.
