As a young "millennial" myself, my rent/service oriented lifestyle is based around how free it makes me feel to not own anything. Ownership comes with hassles, and upkeep costs that I would rather not pay if I can just solve a problem directly, and it is hard to change course once you have bought things. I felt anchored by my car, the amount of time I spent servicing it, parking it, driving it and paying for it until I spent all the time selling it for a fraction of it's original cost. Money in a bank account represents any asset I can imagine. Today solving problems quickly through services is so frictionless, committing that money to a particular form often seems like a losing proposition.
