The only people who retire early here are:
1. Very wealthy
2. Living off someone else
3. Have pensions and healthcare after X years of service.
#3 getting very rare, and it's not totally rare for the people that had it to find themselves broke when the pension funds collapse. That kind of lifelong care became unaffordable for companies as life got longer.
