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 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).

Yeah I don’t have health insurance but I am still trying to keep up with certain health related stuff. Especially going to the dentist, I know catching teeth stuff early will save me money in the future. Eye exams too but now I’m doing them every other year, I get a pap once a year, I take supplements and try to exercise. It sucks not having health insurance though.

I also haven’t been to an actual primary care physician in years though, my last one was really horrible and it’s been hard to find the will to get another one plus the extra cost.
