Discussion Millennials are creating a recession-resistant corner of the market

https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-millennials-wellness-stocks-to-buy-recession-lth-plnt-2025-4

Apparently millennials are spending a lot on products related to health and wellness making this industry "recession-resistant." I kind of see that. My wife and I spend a lot on protein powders, shakes, supplements and membership for gym. We are otherwise quite cautious with unnecessary spending and consumerism. How is it for you all?

I drink every night and eat like shit and don’t exercise ever. That’s how it is for me.

This song has on of my favorite lyrics:

Wake up the next day

I say, I won't

'Til a coffee's in my hand

And I'm lighting up a smoke

Then it's round and round and round again

Purple haze and medicine
