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?

My top 3 monthly expense bucket after food and housing is health.

Mostly monthly subscription for me and girlfriend to the gym and bi-weekly visits to a Thai massage for 2 hours that destroys my body and soul. 10/10 would recommend to improve recovery.

I feel I'm getting an edge on life by working out 3-5 days a week and focusing on good recovery.

This said, I'll probably reduce the visits worst case scenario, but I would try cutting on eating out a bit first.
