Question: IRS 1040 how to file taxes when occupation is unemployed (by choice)?

I’m not retired. But I have not worked in a number of years and every year around this time I am paralyzed by the question on my tax return about my occupation. I guess I could just write in what I last did for a job, but when I held a job, it wasn’t an occupation so much as a way to spend the day. I AM NOT A DEADBEAT! I have never received or applied for any assistance- period. My lifestyle is modest middle class. My income is derived from some smart choices I made when I was younger. My wife is employed full time and makes around $80k/yr. We do pay taxes of course, and would like to avoid being audited if for nothing other than not knowing what to write and leaving a question blank. Do I write unemployed, disinterested, unknown?!? None? Can this be left blank?
Thanks.

Answer: I work at a VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Site and we use unemployed quite a bit with no problems.
