The few people I know that actually managed to get into early retirement (below 35) were the ones that founded very successful start-ups.

Sure, I should have been more specific. Non-founder startup employment is the antithesis of early retirement.

And in spite of your personal anecdote, after 13-14 years (35-22) at a BigCo it is certainly possible for anyone who could have founded a successful startup to gross enough money to retire.
