I don't see any conflict between spirituality and materialism, at least not as I "practice" it.
Spirituality, to me, is about getting over "un-truths" at the psychological level. As an example, to worry is almost never productive or healthy. To understand oneself enough to get the root of worrying and be free of it -- THAT to me is a spiritual practice.
I don't see anything wrong with driving around in a porche or fucking a lot of hot chicks, nor snorting coke off of their asses, for that matter. I just would prefer to be zen as fuck when I do all of it!
Amen to that. 👊
