I didn't for a long time. And I imagine I could stop if I wanted to. I don't think it's a compulsion. If, for example, I decided to sell everything and just travel for a while, I'd probably minimize it or quit, just due to the limitations of space. But there would need to be something outside the norm that I was doing, I think, or it'd be unlikely to stick.
Honestly, though, I like the tension between the two social standards, so why stop?
If it's causing a problem for you, however, well, you need to think about what is important and what is true to yourself, I imagine.
