Is your happiness based solely or mostly on material things?

although you won't believe me, of course not. In fact, I live a rather spartan life, preferring to spend my extra income on travel and savings for later in life. I'll need it later in life because a) I'm getting married to a woman I am deeply in love with which makes me immeasurably happy (not material), I plan on experiencing the wonder of having children with said fiancee (not material), and being comfortable enough to continue to grow, learn, and experience many, many non material riches.

Is your happiness based solely or mostly on material things? . . . Although you won't believe me, of course not.

Why would I not believe you? If you are a happy person, you are not a material person.

On the other hand, why are you claiming that your "happy existence flies in the face" of my claim that If the spiritual is denied the most important part of existence is missing.

It seems you consider non-material things to not only exist, but also to be of great value. So how can you abide by a materialist philosophy which denies not only that such things have value, but even denies that non-material things exist?
