Actually, materialism should be practiced just to satisfy the minimum needs of the body to keep it healthy.
We need to remain healthy because we have to gain spiritually with the help of this body. If we suffer from pain or hunger we will not be able to devote our time and energy for our spiritual upliftment.
So both are important, but the aim is to improve spiritually and not materialistically.

To end up with ur life satisfactorily, you should have 1:1 proprtion of both. Since, if u r strong with spirituality u will not do mischevous things with material life and since u r enough strong in material life u will not allow ur surroundings to drown.
In contrast to that, If u inclined towards spritual life u will become a sanyasi, and all ur family may suffer (exceptional, who dont have a family) and if u inclined towards material life u will become money minded and end up as a criminal.

If you are asking how much of us is God's; I would say all of it, us are God's.
