While all these things may help, the whole theater experience kind of just sucks vs home viewing. If it’s not a masterpiece of visual art meant to be experienced at scale (think Dune), then having to travel, being on someone else’s schedule, in a room full of people with widely varied movie etiquette, paying $10 for a box of candy, and sticking to the floor is generally a no go.

Slice it thin and cook it golden brown. Deep fry it if you can. It’s better than bacon.

There are ways to get money out of an IRA without penalties (72T rule), but the article talks about “net worth millionaires” which includes home value (the article mentions this), and that’s hard to get value out of unless you do something crazy like a reverse mortgage.
