I've been in a similar situation with my dad, his own criticism of my life is one of the reasons why we're not so close anymore.
I don't know much about spiritual stuff I'm afraid, but perhaps you could approach the situation with logic? Do you pay for the things yourself, or does he pay? If you're paying for all these things that he considers outlandish yourself, then maybe you can try and talk to him about how it is just your own life choice. Perhaps you can try and convince him or show him something that can prove that it's not a waste of money and benefits you?
Depending on what your relationship is like, maybe you could sit down and have a talk about money to calm him down? Work out ways to make his financial side stable, so that he'll feel happier?
