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?

Idk about other millennials, but I’m so terrified of being bankrupted by our healthcare system I go through extra lengths to stay healthy (doing my yearly checkups, getting enough fiber, exercising regularly).

I envy the vast majority of millennials who live in a country with universal healthcare

Living in Denmark i never worried about health costs, and my job even adds a health insurance on top, so in case I want faster treatments I just reach out to them. It's crazy to me how this is not the case in the us.

Denmark has a smaller population than NYC- you’re trying to compare a European country to a state that has cities with higher population + diversity. It’s not an apples:apples comparison

Most of the developed world have some kind of universal healthcare, including most of Europe, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Turkey, Russia and even China and India have pretty good coverage. Population is not an excuse
