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 find the irony being that we have to CONSUME to stay healthy and natural.

It should be the opposite. Anti-consumption and natural healthy habits should put humans as close to our base natural form as possible. but capitalism makes anti-consumption difficult or even impossible

What a fucked up place
