I don't agree with this. I think life satisfaction is a function of what you think you need rather than what you really need. Changing that perspective can create as much contentment with existing resources as increasing consumption. For example - no one misses what they never knew they could have. Very few people come up with a _necessity_ for a private jet from first principles.
