Do they really retire early though? I always hear people in forums saying how they'll save up and not have kids to retire by 40 but never meet anyone that has done that. I really doubt most programmers that don't go into management and didn't win the startup lottery retire much earlier than other careers.

Several early Microsoft employees retired by 30, IIRC. Not necessarily an industry-wide thing through.
