"The people vote with their feet", another way of saying actions speak louder than words. Similarly, what we treasure shows where our heart is: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be." (Mt 6:21). If we spend our lives immersed in the acquisition of clothing, jewelry, property, cars, food, etc...we are showing where our heart is, despite what we might say about the need for simple living or detachment from "things". It might be good to see where are hands or eyes are to show us where our heart is. Then we can ask God for true detachment and put our energy, time and talents more to God's disposal than to ours.
