As one who is still w*rking, my gestalt is that retired has a positive meaning (usually meaning a voluntary decision) whereas unemployed suggests that a person might have been downsized, or made redundant (horrible term!). I hope that when I do retire, I will be confident enough to say so. After all, being FIRE is an achievement one can be proud of!
