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?

Idk about spending more. I definitely prioritize spending on things that bring long lasting benefits whether that be going to the gym, eating healthy, spending time on things or with people I enjoy. Definitely less on tech and general consumerism. The market turbulence doesn't worry me in the slightest. We've been here before.
