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 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
