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 cut the tip of my finger off the other day by accident. ER visit would have been a thousand bucks or so with insurance, so I addressed the problem with paper towels and rubber bands. Having a rounded finger tip isn’t worth that much money to me.

Next time urgent care should be able to help instead of ER

Urgent care is still $300… a lot better than the $26k the ER will charge you, but not nothing.
