um, no dear, the early 1990s is/are fifteen or so years ago now.
as to your titular question about retiring now, well, you could retire if you wanted to (once your benefits at your employer vest, that is); but the usual slogan is "freedom 55" or so, not "freedom 40".
I got my pension benefit statement from the university just before christmas, as per usual. I could take early retirement from this august institution 2009 07 01. That's less than 18months from now. Given the size of the resultant pension, I doubt that I will, but a scary thought nonetheless.
