Minimalist approach

In my life, I have decided many times that I am going to follow minimalist approach. Well I belief at some point every man thinks about that to cater his insatiable greed. Okay, here is an interesting story to share. I had a go phone when I first came in United States. I took it so that I my family could reach me, then eventually I took an AT&T line with a fancy touch screen phone. It was fancy, huh! But unfortunately I dropped that phone into water and I borrow one from my friend and finally I bought one from AT&T again. Then my contract matured and I was tempted to get a new phone! If I take a new phone why not iPhone! Well I took a iPhone then. Finally I realized it is supersensitive and I should have a screen protector :) so I got one, finally I am thinking I may drop it and so I need a protective cover so I ordered one :D Now tell me what is it? I don't know what is it but it is not minimalist approach. It is not need either, probably this is what we can call greed. My insatiable greed!!! I forgot where I read it but I read somewhere a quote saying this world can satisfy men's need but nothing can satisfy men's greed. Where is my minimalist approach? Where is my anti-materialistic life? I could not, I couldn't save myself from this materialistic; it took me; it is taking me every moment.
