There is a very popular god named Materialism (1st cousin to the Money god!) -- this one gives us a sales pitch on not just "keeping up with the Jones" but always keeping ahead of them -- you know, get that big new car before they do, and all the other things we feel we just have to have, and then the Jones family has to scramble to try to keep up with YOU!!! Sadly, masses of people still fall for the Devil's sales pitch that the more you get materially in this world, the better off you will be and you will live perpetually on "Happy Street" all the rest of your life! Check out the Gospel of Luke, chapter 12:15-21, and read about one guy who seemed to have it all -- warning, it's not a very happy ending!
