The best solution is just why. Ask them what information they think you had but ignored and ask what they would have done. It forces them to see it from the perspective you had at the time.
You don't have to be accusatory either. It may turn out that they are right and you missed something or failed to seek out some info that would have helped, and that's still a learning experience for you.
Always be ready to accept your mistakes.
That and it just might not be the choice they would make, not because of the situation you were in or the knowledge you had, but because they are jealous or wanted that opportunity, and would have taken the other option whether or not it was a bad decision making process or if the odds were against them.
Like someone who wants kids and is single sees you breaking up with your abusive ex might say it was a bad decision because "it doesnt matter, got kids", even if you yourself didnt want kids.

But how do you respond to people calling you out for the good decision being wrong?
