三十而立这句老话，现在已经不流行了，现在流行30多岁就过上退休的生活。

30 Something to Retire?
Reporter:
Recently, a new lifestyle among Chinese young people is gaining in popularity and has sparked heated discussion. Most of those people actually have good jobs and earn a considerable salary. However they've chosen to quit their jobs and take a long vacation as a way to refresh and recharge.
According to a Beijing News survey, more than 80% of the respondents say they've thought about retiring early, and more than 50% said they wish they could to quit their job.
Xu Wei, a woman in her 30s, has a successful career. But she plans to retire in five or six years' time. She says she needs that time to expand her life experiences, and believes work is not a necessity.

After that I had a totally different outlook on life.
