2. Stayed in the same FT job but would love to retire early, but have 2 years to go.

Right now looking at one last really good FT job and if I get it will probably last 6 more years until 60 (full retirement in my defined benefit system). If I don't we are contemplating a 2 year plan to both retire early and make that work through hook or crook. That will cut my pension by almost half which sucks but we both hate our jobs and want to drop out.
