The stigma pushers are most likely just jealous they can't afford to do it. "Haters gonna hate"?

If you even want to dignify their admonitions with a response, just tell them you know you're doing the right thing for you... and your family.

Let them think what they want, but if they persist, tell them they're outta line and separate yourself from them.

One could always spend all day on PARF or PPOT ....just doesn't pay as well as before I sang Johnny Paycheck's tune :)

They are not jealous, they are calculating conservative folks who have lived their whole careers chasing that golden pension. It is 100% about the pension that OP is giving up. It's not about goals and idle retirement.

That's different.

You're not the first one to say that. But I am really enjoying it.
