Some studies suggest that both adults and children who attach a lot of importance to money and material possessions tend to be less happy, less satisfied with life, and less healthy physically than those who are not materialistic.
Menurut penelitian, orang tua dan anak - anak yang terlalu mementingkan uang dan barang biasanya kurang bahagia, tidak pernah puas, dan lebih mudah sakit dibanding orang yang tidak berfokus pada hal materi.
