Wanting things you don't have doesn't mean you are not being contented, it only means you are wanting to have progress in your life. Being not contented for me means that wanting more of the things you already have. Things you don't have that you want to have can be considered as rewards and goals for you to achieve more in your life. 
As I observed myself it looks like I never stop on planning to buy new things that I dont have yet.

The problem with contentment of an individual if he/she does not have the means (financially) to satisfy his wants and needs. They become envious of what others have.

All people have unlimited wants, but it's better to buy what you not what you only want. How to be contented?, appreciate things you have, and you must work hard to get what you want, not just saying to your parent what you want them to buy for you and in a blink of an eye it's there for you. Just compare things that you have and the other people that is suffering doesn't even had a chance to even just what you have. 
Being content is a skill that we can develop though not everyone has the power or ability to do it. In order to be content, you first have to appreciate the things that you already possess and not drool over the things that you don't have or can't even afford.
