We want to know more about your health and wellness budgets – whether it goes to skincare or therapy
Taking care of oneself can be expensive and time consuming. According to the Global Wellness Institute, Americans spend over $6,000 per person a year on wellness – the “largest wellness economy by far”. The UK is the fifth biggest wellness economy globally, with a per capita average annual wellness spending of $3,342.
Wellness means different things for different people. For some, it may include nutritious groceries, fitness classes and treatment for chronic pain. For others, it may be a comprehensive health insurance plan, skincare products, therapy and a subscription to a meditation app.
