Does not having a corporate or regular 9-5 job mean retiring?

    According to me, retirement means you no longer have to work 
    for money. You then proceed to do whatever you like, without 
    regard for whether or not it earns you money.
You could be retired and have a 9 - 5, as long as you're doing it for fun and not the money, according to MMM's definition.

    He rides his bike to school, even when it’s 20 degrees
    outside. He prefers making his own toys with me in my 
    workshop to buying them in the store, because he is 
    rarely exposed to TV ads. So his piggy bank tends to 
    accumulate in an uninterrupted fashion.
Or so you believe.
