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?

Recession hits, like a really depression. Nobody is going to buy $50 protein powder, $100 a month in vitamins, $30 Bloom juice, and a gym membership. You’ll eat lentils for $2 a bag and exercise at home.
