I don't hold a grudge against the so called "material things". Value is subjective anyways, so these "material things" that don't mean much to you might mean the world to someone else.

I'm on the same boat as you though. I value experiences and acts of service much more over material things.

Yeah, this I totally buy. Notice, though, how none of that is 

: it's doing/services with payback in experience/achievements/less worry.

Those things I value greatly and, I suspect, will/would value as wealthy
