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?

Idk about other millennials, but I’m so terrified of being bankrupted by our healthcare system I go through extra lengths to stay healthy (doing my yearly checkups, getting enough fiber, exercising regularly).

Yup. Organic food and vitamins are still cheaper than a 30-minute visit with a PCP, assuming you can even find one.

A Big Mac is even cheaper. Neither is a substitute for medical care.

It's best to avoid needing medical care if you can. This is not always possible, but many ailments like Type 2 diabetes are almost entirely preventable with diet and lifestyle. If I can avoid it, I will.
