The hunchback Spartan?
Xerxes wins again?According to the linked article about money and happiness, since we buy experiences all the time.
Makes sense to me. How's about you?

"Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they've left on my soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul"
..and I spend within my means which also keeps me happy. Many temptations to go overboard (not one, but two, just today) however I am sticking with the master plan. I will have to wait. There is an "Angel" in my future that I have yet to solve.

It seems a bit self evident that experiences matter more than possessions. Once you get to a certain age I think you realize that you have enough things. Sure I love my fast car and cycle but it is the shared experiences I value. And that certainly includes having a warm, sweet young thing share her world with me even if only for an hour or two.
Some time the day will come when you'll have to either move all your possessions or have a big yard sale. (Which believe me is a big pain in the ass, I've done it a few times.).
But you can just take your memories anywhere you go and have them whenever you want.
You can't beat that efficiency.
I'm taking my shoe collection and it's not up for negotiation. The good Lord understands me. 'Nough said.
