In my experience the economy (roughly 80%) and social ties (roughly 20%) seem to be the biggest factors. I work for a large tech company so a majority of the millennial I know are comparatively well off, but even among these folks there is constant pressure to rid themselves of massive student loans, many of my immigrant millennial friends feel trapped due to their visa status.
On the other hand, social ties among some millennial seems weaker than past generations -- a lot of us don't go to church, and spend way more time on social media than hanging out "in real life". For most people the negatives of social media vastly outweigh the positive.
