  1. I am in a similar situation with similar savings and state pension, that will terminate after my death. I am a few years younger than the OP and I am not holding back, unless for totally unneccesary spendings, like visiting fancy restaurants and bars. When you are dead, it's too late to start enjoying life. Years ago I helped my wife open her own small business, which will be able to feed her well after my death, without needing to touch any savings. 

  2. Just claim that they are religious artifacts.

    That's hilarious, wouldn't be a bad idea for a certain airline, no names mentioned (AA) to refund me my money for 4 tickets from a year ago after cancelling my flight.

     

    Ditto. Our flight to Phuket was cancelled back in 2021, so we received a credit valid for 730 days. When we used the credit in March 2023, the flight to Phuket was again cancelled, so we now got a new credit to be used in the future (maybe??).

    Night-time GERD can be avoided or minimized by changing eating habits. I was taking pantoprazole for years.

    I do not go to bed until at least 3 hours after my last food consumption.

    About half an hour before going to bed, I have half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water.

    I still keep a bottle of water by the bed to wash down any reflux. However, I have not needed it for several years.

    IMO soda bicarb is a lot cheaper than medication, with much less risk of harmful side effects.

    Instead of drinking the horrible tasting water with baking soda, you could swallow a couple of small Sodamint tablets before bedtime. They are usually sold in pharmacies in Thailand at 150 Baht for 1,000 tablets. However be careful with baking soda (and Sodamint) if you already have a high sodium intake. I have succesfully reduced my daily salt intake, which also resulted in way fewer GERD and Heartburn situations. But a person would still have to find and avoid the foods and drinks that triggers GERD and Heartburn.

    Don't get it why not copy Magdeburg and make "Kra canal" like this:

    Would avoid having to move cargo from one ship to another and trucks in between, as ships could just sail right through...

     

    They would need to reload the cargo to smaller vessels anyway! Why would ships be better than trains and trucks?
