Sorry to hear this man.
Like others have said....Social Security could be your answer. OR if you still have money in a retirement account like a 401k/403b/IRA/Roth IRA your old enough to start drawing on those. Age is 59.5 to avoid an extra 10% tax penalty to uncle Sam.
You said your wife really enjoys her part time job? Anyway you could get a job at the same place with her?
Resume is great and all but who do you know? Working for so long you must have build some friendships along the way. It's time, sit down and call them all up! It's who you know and one of those people could now be a manager somewhere.....OR know of one looking for someone.
The trailer in the yard is an idea but if it was me I'd travel from a couple different State/County RV parks and volunteer. Most allow volunteers to hook up and stay for free. You would do things like sit at the check in center or after a person leave that site go make sure its ready for the next person.
With your experience you could always try substitute teacher at a school/community college.
I would really apply for SS like yesterday. You can still make a small income while drawing SS benefits and not screw anything up.
