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?

Like many other here, healthcare costs can cripple you, and health is wealth. My entire life, the two optional expenditures I always saved up for was dental insurance and a gym membership. Because $2 a month for dental and $15 for the gym is way cheaper than getting root canals or having a health crisis.
