It depends on what kind of 'stuff' you are buying too. If it's a tool that you can use to learn new things or create beautiful things, then that's a possession that can unlock valuable experiences.

It seems like a simple truth to me that in the end, what humans value are experiences of some sort. And that possessions have weight and therefore can weigh you down. Over-analyzing the two as a dichotomy doesn't seem that useful to me.
