Yes it does seem like this is something many younger Americans are doing as you can see on this Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Zillennials/comments/1c3f6x7/anyone_here_really_doom_spending/

people are spending their money to tackle anxiety, this Reddit thread is something that comes from real people, and not just someone saying that they are doom spending, and given just how many replies they got of people saying they were doing it, it seems to be a big problem.

Is reddit a legitimate source for a fact-check? Academic or news outlets are better places to conduct research for a fact-check.
