I suspect unless you have a gambling problem, that "34 years at Apple/Next" would be enough to retire on.

34 years? I have 10 years at a couple of FAANGs, and got $3M in stock, with maxed out 401k, etc. I am having thoughts about retiring early, maybe in 5 years. Long time Apple employees could definitely retire after 10 years. He most likely stayed there because he liked the job.
