what material possessions?
when i was a little kid, it was probably my bike or my gi joe
as a teen, it was my electric guitar (ibanez blazer 550 model)
in my 20s, i was still a teen so it was my electric guitar (1965 fender telecaster)
in my 30s, it was my car, a used tan volvo station wagon which was so humble and utilitarian in a time when riced out hondas and other flashy cars ruled the road
right now, i would say it is my current guitars (ltd viper and yamaha fg-75, which both got handpainted by my wife but we plan to sell to an art gallery so it will be hard to part with those)
besides the car, everything that was material that i liked the most were inexpensive items (all under $700 dollars) and i never fancied the idea of a diamond studded rolex or brand new ducati since fancy stuff is just not me
at a jewelry store near me, there is this woman's rolex with diamonds on the face, around the sides and rim, and all over the band and the only thing not a diamond are the hands and the clasp...and all yours for only $75,000 dollars
...
for future items, i cannot really imagine i would want anything expensive, except when i need to replace my old station wagon with probably an electric hybrid, but mostly to help the environment
since i will be out of the two guitars i own now and i have been playing 30 years, i will probably get a single guitar to replace them in a similar low price range...i have had opportunities to buy expensive guitars, jewelry, and watches and it's just never been me...but i appreciate nice stuff all the same and i understand that a patek phillip with a limited edition of 15 pieces is not your regular timex, even though the timex keeps better time
