    Young People Are Making Up to $36K a Year Renting Their T-Shirts and Speakers
    Rental apps like Pickle and Yoodlize are helping millennials and Gen Zers turn their closets and tools into extra cash.

    Sundararajan says the popularity of these apps represents a shift toward more responsible consumerism and a decline in the fixation on owning things. “I think Instagram had a lot to do with this. People who grew up seeing other people's vacations on Instagram are more wired to think of value as coming not from what you own but what you experience,” he says. “They’re more likely to say, ‘Well, why should I buy this if I can just sort of get it, experience it, and then give it back?’”
