Honestly people cannot be contented on what they already have. In order to be contented on what do have is think of people without anything to eat or to buy something, even water to drink. But these things is not enough fo us to become contented. But if we wanted, lets go back to God, and thanks him for everything he gave us. That would be enough for us to be contented.
Going with your topic, in Economics we have what we call scale of preference and opportunity cost these two are two important things that can help you a lot in being choosy about things, for more knowledge you can read more on it. About contentment you have to deal with it personally, work on yourself, define what you really want in Life and stay put on these
Contentment was defined in some dictionary as "the state of being mentally or emotionally satisfied with things as they are.” in Bible it says;"I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me". (Philippians 4:12-13), The Bible great deals with CONTENTMENT with SATISFACTION be contented for who we are, to what we have, to we have become, to where we are now. In Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity." Trust God in any ways, be satisfied, be contented because if we Worry about something or anything then it means we don't trust God. Be thankful always whatever we have, whatever it happens always be thankful to God.
As I observed myself it looks like I never stop on planning to buy new things that I dont have yet.
In order to be truly contented with what you have, you have to see the value with everything you have. Simple as that. You tend to buy more things because you don't value the things you already have. You become an impulsive shopper.

To be contented from what we have is that when we want to have that thing or person but we cant afford or have it , but somehow to be contented from what we have right now is a blessing already given by God to us we need to take it for granted because some people might not have it or they have what you need but you dont have it.
Just think for your life that you are lucky enough to be born okay.Some are born blind,deaf mute,or physically handicapped.There are more people that are more miserable than you.Some are much more unfortunate than you.Some who are on the streets no home,food,family.Be thankful you are not them.

I think you should go to an outreach program. There you can see families and people who are unfortunate, and are lucky enough to be visited by NGOs for food and supplies. This way you will be able to see and value what you already have.
To be contented with what you have first, you got to have positive disposition in life take a look at what you have, your status, your income and your situation in life. And learn to live within that means, enjoy what you have for the moment and strive hard for future.
we should observe society around us. Although we complain always with what we have see how many people are suffering from various problems. If we have a place to live, food to eat and a family to be with we are blessed. It is true that we want to go up and change with society. but that change should not be a stress to our mind.

appreciating things with what you have, it is the key to be contented but being contented leads us to laziness. wanting better things for us gives us reason to strive harder to reach our goals in life.
When you already accomplished what has to be done, and you're feeling the satisfaction with what happened.
As I observed myself it looks like I never stop on planning to buy new things that I dont have yet.
I think, the best way to be contented with what you have is simply wanting what you need and never caring about the things that others have. Seeing the world today, new things are just being released almost every month, and people are just buying and using it because it is new, but when you stop caring, then you will be contented.
People are always setting up goals for themselves and the more cash they have the higher the goals become. I'll give you an example from my own life. When I was a kid i always saved money for computer parts. I remember setting up small goals for myself, like a printer or a new keyboard, but when I started to earn real money and didn't have to rely on my parents, my computer goals quickly grew. My old desk suddenly became too small to fit my new computer and then my room was too small and I moved to a bigger flat, and that became too small, so I moved to a house, and now my yard feels too small, I'd like to have 2x that to fit a swimming pool 
Yeah this is true. As we grow old, our need and wants grow too. When I was a child, I wish to have a bike and ask for my parents to buy me one. But as the year past and trends change every year, I have come up to a decision to buy a motorcycle. From a bike as a kid to a motor cycle as I grew up, it changes. And now I am thinking of buying a car so my family can ride with me. Maybe someday a helicopter ? haha
