The answer is no. 1 which gives a meaning that you have slightly more than 20 years to work before you retire. :)

Number 1 would be the best. In number 2 you have just "year" which is singular and since we're talking about multiple years you want the plural form. Number 3 is also incorrect with "other". Other mostly refers to say "just one;one or the other" whereas another is "one more". Fits better since we're talking about more then one year.
Hope that helps.
