Hehe I took the early retirement last year, and they're going to pay me several thousand dollars a month for the rest of my life to do nothing. I'm only 51, so it's likely to be a while. I've started a second career as a photographer, and my health insurance is through my retirement.

I made more working for them, but they're going to pay me for a few decades to not do anything!
