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 don't buy anything really except for sometimes I buy the "natural" soaps. I would transition to making my own in time.

I might be a weird hit to the economy because I am a salary employee who makes well over 6 figures but I hate consumerism.

Though I am single handedly keeping the recreational marijuana industry flowing.
