Personally I think that is the best and you're still building a pension.
I remember the last lunch I made for my last day at work. Best meal ever.
When I walked into the area of the warehouse I worked in there was a big crowd there. A lovely cake and some gifts. I was also told to take it easy and enjoy my last day as if I needed to be told lol.
Here's some pictures of my last day. I waited 46 years for that day.
