Bullshit. Not being able to afford emergencies, or quality housing, or healthy food, or free time, will far outweigh any philosophical benefits of being forced to go without.

Definitely. Basic needs need to be met first, and you may want to have a surplus to ensure that you will be okay in emergencies or to ensure that your family is comfortable, but beyond that buying luxuries won't contribute to true happiness. Short-term happiness, maybe. At least that's how I see it.
