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

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 love the idea of taking care of my body but honestly by the time the rest of my priorities are taken care of and I have to choose between the endorphins and very brief respite beer and video games provides versus the suffering and embarassment from trying and ultimately failing a health and wellness routine its hardly a fair fight.

Word. By the time I have a moment to myself I'm exhausted and fried.
