I didn't know quite how to respond...I have to think about the options. I'm... sensualist... I appreciate nice things. And when I can get them, I do. But I buy nice things because they have aspects I appreciate, sensually, and that's why I buy them, for the most part. And when circumstance makes me unable to have them, I mostly don't dwell on it... I think that's not quite materialistic, but it's also not quite the opposite of materialistic But then the concept of materialism implies accepting a duality between the spiritual / non-material world and the material world, and I don't really accept that concept fully.
