Fair enough. Everyone has their own life and they spend it the way they want. I use the word spend because life is a limited resource and unlike money and stuff, at some point you run out and there is no way to get more.

Things to consider:
Am I content with what I have? Do I have peace that will last even if I lose the stuff?

I found that there is a difference between happy and peaceful. If all someone wants is to be entertained then they don't really want peace. For me, it was too tiring to keep the stream of stuff and kicks to avoid the quiet moments in the dark of the night when there was no peace in my heart or mind.
