As long as it does not take over your soul and you can leave it all behind when the time comes, be as material as you wish. It isn't going to hurt to watch a big screen TV, if that TV tells you it's time to secretly join a militia because the police state just announced itself on CNN.
Learn to carry a backpack stuffed with what you need when the time comes, learn to walk through nature and enjoy what it has to offer, know that the time may come when you are living out here somewhere, maybe in the mountains, and that the socialists have given your house Ala "Doctor Zhivago" style to its own friends.
If the world falls further in to Platonic/Kantian/Hegelian/Marxist philosophy, there will be a "shit storm."
The rain is already falling in a near steady hail of bullets on campuses and in other heinous crimes.

any tips? like cheap backpacking holidays and safe and best places to see?
Answer
Northern Europe is generally very safe, so you really don`t have to worry.
Unfortunately almost everything is more expensive than in most other European countries. I usually stay at youth hostels (most people there are actually in their twenties or older, you don`t have to worry about hordes of school kids) and many of them have self-service kitchens, so you can prepare your own meals. If you wnat to eat out, there is always McDonalds, BurgerKing & Co ;-) but i.e. Chinese restaurants are not that expensive. I`m not sure about the other countries, but in Sweden many restaurants offer a Day`s Special (Dagens Rätt) for lunch at very reasonable prices.
I`m totally in love with both Helsinki and Stockholm, both beautifully located with a rich culture. Oslo is also nice, but clearly ranked third in my book. In Norway I prefer the city of Bergen and then there are of course the fjords - Geiranger is one of the most spectacular places on earth! In Sweden the region of Dalarna is supposed to be the number one tourist location and it is nice, but I prefer the region in between the two big lakes (Vaenern and Vaettern), Smaland in the south or the island Gotland. All nordic countries with the exception of the capitals and one or two more major cities are a perfect spot for people who love nature and are a little adventerous.
Okay, Denmark isn`t quite that "wild", Copenhagen is great and then there are beautiful islands and beaches.
Iceland is different and a real gem, but VERY expensive, so probably not your budget vacation.
In all countries you can expect that most people speak very good English, so you won`t have any real communictaion problems. You are likely to find out that you`ll even be able to understand a lot of the written language in Norway, Sweden and Denmark (not in Finland, but the country - just like Canada - is officially bilingual, so most signs are Finnish and Swedish) and find your way around.
Hope that helps!
