Do material things really bring happiness?

People are so shocked when I say I have a MacBook, iPhone 5s, smart tv, etc people call me spoiled and this and that and say I must be happy but those things don't seem that important to me, I get what I want and I'm still not happy, I just want the simple thing of having a real friend, and I don't even have that but most people do, but lol so do material things really bring happiness to others?

2#in many cases. Material items can give happieness sometimes the items that you, ll think that would make you
