Yes, it is all very materially comforting and thus, samsaric, but how pleasant.

They say, the buddhists, that this life is a dream and samsara is a treacherous lure that disguises everyone's deep basic sufferings into paradise as soon as we have money. Having enough money is so nice an dbasic for peace of mind though. Talk as they may and want about being satisfied with what you've got: it is certainly easier now than on welfare in 2008 for me, alone, abandonned by all except hubby and a bf from iran.
