False.
Having more stuff does not directly produce greater contentment or happiness. While meeting basic needs and some comfort helps, research shows diminishing returns (wealth beyond a point adds little), hedonic adaptation (we quickly get used to new possessions), and that relationships, health, purpose, and meaningful experiences are stronger predictors of lasting well‑being.
