Not being smart a$$ or mean spirited but IMO if you need to work for extra income it's not time to retire. Wife and I both retired at 56 and everyone said we would be back out in workforce in a year or going nuts at home. Haven't looked back once and can hardly remember working now. Don't quit that good paying job until you are ready to quit working! JMO Enjoy your retirement, whenever it starts.
So, doing it your way I shouldn't retire from my construction job of 25 years to work with my wife in the BBQ vending trailer we own?
I retired from the sheet metal industry after 35yrs but continued to work a couple of little part time jobs...laughed at the fact I quit a good paying job to work a minimum wage paying job but I had only 1.5yrs to full retirement so I didn't lose much by retiring early. With only 25yrs in if you started drawing your retirement you'd be losing quite a bit of money so my thoughts would be to keep working at least enough hrs to keep getting retirement credits and work with your wife part time.
