提前退休放飞心灵 protirement

前一阵延迟退休的消息让许多在压力下苟延残喘的底层白领们感觉更加悲惨，但其实换一个思路，如果工作让你那么不快乐，你也可以选择protirement——提前退休去追求自己热爱的生活方式。当然前提是你有足够的财力支持或资金储备。

Protirement is retiring or quitting an unattractive job to pursue work or hobbies more suited to one's personality.

“提前退休”指的是辞去已经没有吸引力的工作，转而追求更适合自己个性的事业或爱好。

More than 80% of 30-to 35-year-old professionals claim they are unhappy at work, worn down by a combination of stress, boredom and the feeling that their job isn't giving back as much as they put into it.

超过80%的30岁到35岁的专业人士声称自己工作时并不快乐，压力、厌倦、感到工作中投入和回报并不对等，这些都让他们身心俱疲。

For many, that realisation leaves a straight choice between continuing in a career that pays well but makes them miserable, and doing something less lucrative but more fulfilling — a lifestyle option that has been dubbed "protirement". According to research, one in 15 under-35s is already "protired".

许多人都意识到这样一个选择，是继续在薪水丰厚却让自己感觉悲惨的职场道路上走下去，还是做一些赚钱不多却让自己心灵充实的事情——后者被称为protirement。根据调查，35岁以下的人15个当中就有1个已经“提前退休”了。
