Retirement is a big milestone in a family. But what happens when children beat their parents to the punch? With people following the FIRE (financial independence, retire early) movement, some have been able to amass a nest egg to last them decades.
Retirement reporter Meera Raman is looking to speak with Canadians who have retired before their parents stopped working, for a future story. How did you get to a place, financially, to be able to retire? How did you tell your parents? How has it affected your relationship with them?
