I am by no means wealthy, but I still enjoy spending my money and buying things for both myself and others. I enjoy my "big-boy toys" if you will.. TVs and what not. And I couldn't really imagine life without these comforts, but I don't really believe that makes me a bad christian that doesn't follow God. I agree with you though Bob that it's what you do with what you have that makes you who you are. Lazoras wouldn't give up his riches to follow Jesus, but Jesus still brought him back from the dead.
