Agree with all your points except this one:-
My cousin was gifted Honda Jazz on his birthday, yet he drives activa to his college, doesn't use internet on fone as it is expensive & whenver outside, goes to udapi hotel than star one, all this though he can afford it. His logic is simple:- I will spend when I earn. Again when is looking after the family biz, though part time, he isn't spending, it still goes to his piggy bank (though he has his a/c he operates piggy bank as well).

So, more or less, this is in the blood + experience learned from seeing others. Best part which I really appreciate about him is that he never gives in to peer pressure, which many people failed to do for whateer reasons.

* PS:- All the family members earned from scratch & hence all are aware about the value of money even if they are in crores now.

Man, earning money is not difficult, digesting it is!!
