I dont have material things. I keep it simple. I want to know that I can pay for my life on a 6$ an hour job if I have to. We travel, but that is the main expense.
I think there's a big difference between showing excitement over reaching an accomplishment and bragging.
When somebody first starts doing well and they get to the point that they can buy their "dream items", I don't think there's anything wrong with them telling their friends and showing off what they were able to do. Actually I think thats great, it makes me happy for them.
A friend of mine just graduated college and received some very nice gifts from his family, when he told me about all of the gifts I didn't think for one minute that he was bragging. He was just excited, and I was too, I know how hard he worked for it.
I think the same applies for making money. If someone builds up their business to the point that they can buy a nice house, I expect them to be happy and I even expect them to show it off a little bit. Its a big accomplishment. Now, if they go on to buy a second or third house and still show the same excitement, thats moving into the "bragging" realm.
A lot of people get jealous when they see others succeed. I don't. I get ambitious.

he was bragging, these were gifts, so he didnt earn them in any way
actually IMo it's stupid to get something from your family, I want to have the awarness that everything I have I accomplished by myself, and not got as gifts
I am taking this to the extreme perhaps though, so f.e if I would win in the lottery a few millions, it would make me unhappy. So I dont buy lottery tickets anymore
