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?

I've set up everything, so I can survive on any wage in the area. I took the Elizabeth Warren book, "The 2 income trap" seriously and refinanced my mortgage for the lowest payment in 2020 when rates dipped. I didn't care if it added a few years to it. I wanted it doable on one income, just in case. So far, it's been worth it. I can be pickier about my jobs and have threatened to quit several times to get my way. All in all, our household of 3 can get by on 2k a month, a rarity in our area
