My previous response was about finding meaning from interpersonal dependence, I totally get not wanting to develop a dependence on "things." However renting a home means you're paying someone else's "taxman" for them and paying for the privilege for doing so. If you've done really well financially, you get to the point where you pay off the bank and it's only the taxman you owe to keep a roof over your head. You're already saving, that's good, for the time many years in the future when you can no longer work. Also think about saving for a time when you'll feel differently about owning things and/or having kids.
