Haha. It doesn't matter, I think I'm all right with taking on the label at this point (maybe with the word "aspiring" tacked on).
And as for what is "stuff"... well, I did get material items and I can touch them and the satisfaction is tangible, but a) it replaced old items that went away, and b) if I don't have to pack it in a U-Haul someday, it isn't stuff. See? Loophole. :D You're right, of course, it is more quality, or more net worth.
I like your story about preppies. I don't have a great image in my head of what preppies are, but I do think of them as knowing about quality. One difference is that I think of them as learning about quality at their parents' impeccably dressed knees... not stumbling, feeling, growing into the idea like some of us.
