We are in that category with huge capital gains in 2021 and then a dive in early 2022. We have a large estate but still don't like to see losses. We have never eaten out much except for during travel....too much food, slow service and not usually worth the cost and often not as good or healthy as our own cooking. We shop carefully for best deals on flights, hotels and cruises etc and will take several trips this year. We have always shopped carefully for food, watching expiration dates etc and we eat our left overs. We throw very little food away and keep snack food to a minimum. We try to combine errands to save gas and we bought a lithium golf cart. We took social security at 67 for 1 person and the second younger person filed under that as well allowing their account to grow a few more years for higher payments. Don't think that is allowed anymore though.
