        <itunes:author>Janet Rossi</itunes:author>
        <itunes:summary>Real talk about what it&#39;s like to retire early as a single female now. It&#39;s not like your Grandma&#39;s days! Especially after the pandemic. Discussions on how to protect your property deed, finding new friends in your 50&#39;s and older, dining out solo or with friends, and so much more. This is not a financial planning site. This is a more detailed view into my experiences stepping into the world of retirement. I share both fun and serious subjects so you have a bit more information going into or considering retiring early. I&#39;m Janet Rossi - thanks for joining me on this new podcast!</itunes:summary>
