I've known people who adopted minimal lifestyles in terms of how many items they owned. Not because of money, but because of what you mention, and probably other motivations as well.
We've been coached to seek material wealth as a sign of success. This urge and group-think probably goes back to the old days when there wasn't enough of anything for anyone. But we're hardly huddling around bonfires anymore and living in caves.
It may be a distortion introduced by the industrial revolution, particularly mass production of goods. We were never meant to live this well, and so we find ourselves discontented.
Cheers
