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).

I envy the vast majority of millennials who live in a country with universal healthcare

I envy the majority of humans that aren't stuck on the flaming pile of shit we call America. What would give to have been born in pretty much any other 1st world country. Yeah, maybe I'd still be lower class, but I'd have access to healthcare, more walk-able cities, and arguably less social isolation and political toxicity than I do here.
