You aren't really out of material things. Do you produce your own gas and food and energy? If not, somebody else is paying for your material things - me and the girl from the grocery shop who sells you lettuce and the guy from the gas pump, we are paying your freedom with a little part of our earnings called "taxes". It's your decision which is affecting me and that girl and that other guy, a decision which siphons a little money from the hospital maintenance to your freedom. Do I mind? Not that much, but it bears saying: you are not free, just living off us.
