When/How did you first realize that material goods arent the key to happiness?

I realized in my early teens.

It's doesn't mean material goods can't bring joy, it just means they are so unimportant in the overall scheme of things.

Those who say money can't buy you happiness are simply poor. They say those words to comfort themselves.
