I would like to post an actual unpopular opinion: the James Bond franchise died along with the cold war, both because the Enemy (tm) disapeeared and because it got turned into a very loud commercial for whoever had the money (seriously? James Bond drinking fucking Heineken?).
For the time being, I have no opinion on whether I agree with OP.
If I was able to retire early at any age, I'd probably do some odd jobs or perhaps I'd volunteer for stuff. I need something to do.
