We discuss the generational difference in attitudes toward the ownership of things... houses, cars, music, movies, records, and clothes. How do Millennials and GenZ think about buying and owning things, vs the Boomers and GenX? What's the motivation behind this? Is it a conscious choice, or a decision based on necessity? Molly polled her friends an…
