Too much worried about physical comforts or the obtaining of riches and material belongings, instead of spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values is called materialism. An example of materialism is explaining love in terms of material things, valuing a new car over friendships. Materialism is bad for society as it priorities things and affects the relationship. Some people even start thinking that owning and purchasing things are vital means to accomplish significant life objectives, for example, joy, achievement and attractive quality. (As discussed earlier)

Materialism is a form of philosophical monism which holds that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all things, including mental states and consciousness, are results of material interactions.

Now the question arises, Is Materialism Good or Bad?

On the great parts is that materialistic individuals can discover joy with those valuable materials. Purchase things if and only on the off chance that you need. In any case, materialistic individuals for most cases don't need that. They need more and more. In the event that you offer something to them, they may toss it in the trash regardless of whether you gave it as a blessing. So materialism causes SELFISHNESS.

Some Scientific theories say that materialism is useful for your joy.But If you are selfish, you will make your sweetheart or your family unsatisfied as you are unsatisfied with your bait. The lure to luxury will increase more & more. Consequently, humankind may diminish.

So materialism is great just if this is for necessity. It's not about I will get it as it is excellent or whenever I am having money.
