Are You Ready For Retiremement?

Answer these 5 questions to find out. Only 18% of men get them right.

You will find the correct answers below.

Question 1 of 5

Question 1

If you were born in April 1960 and plan to claim Social Security at age 67, but your wife is 3 years younger and never worked—should you file a restricted application for spousal benefits first, or does the 2015 law change eliminate that strategy entirely?

Question 2

You're enrolled in Original Medicare with a Medigap Plan G. In Year 3, you develop a chronic condition requiring specialist care. Should you switch to a Medicare Advantage plan to save on premiums, or will you lose the ability to switch back to Medigap without medical underwriting in most states?

Question 3

You have $850,000 in your traditional IRA and plan to retire at 63. Do you begin Roth conversions immediately, wait until 65 to stay under IRMAA thresholds, or delay until 73 when RMDs force your hand—and how does each choice affect your lifetime tax bill and Medicare premiums?

Reveal answers
  • The 2015 Bipartisan Budget Act eliminated restricted applications for anyone born after January 1, 1954. Since you were born in April 1960, this strategy is no longer available to you. However, your wife can still claim spousal benefits once you file for your own retirement benefits—worth up to 50% of your Full Retirement Amount (FRA). If you don't understand how to coordinate this timing correctly, you could lose $50,000+ in cumulative spousal benefits she's entitled to receive over her lifetime.
  • Once you switch from Medigap to Medicare Advantage, you lose guaranteed issue rights in most states, meaning insurance companies can deny you coverage or charge significantly higher premiums based on your health conditions if you try to switch back. With a chronic condition requiring specialist care, staying in Original Medicare with Medigap Plan G typically provides better financial protection—saving $75,000+ over 15 years compared to the out-of-pocket maximums and network restrictions in Medicare Advantage plans. The $100-150/month premium savings from switching to Medicare Advantage is a false economy that backfires when you actually need care. Don't make healthcare decisions based solely on monthly premiums.
  • With $850,000 in a traditional IRA, waiting until Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) start at age 73 will force large taxable distributions that push you into the 24% or higher tax brackets AND trigger IRMAA surcharges that can double your Medicare Part B and Part D premiums for two or more years. The optimal strategy is to begin Roth conversions immediately at age 63, methodically filling the 12% and 22% tax brackets each year before Social Security income starts, giving you maximum control over your taxable income. This proactive approach can save $120,000+ in lifetime taxes and Medicare surcharges compared to doing nothing and letting RMDs dictate your tax situation. Timing matters enormously—every year you delay costs you low-bracket conversion opportunities you'll never get back.
  • COBRA seems safe because it's familiar, but at $1,800/month ($21,600/year), you're likely overpaying by $13,000-18,000 compared to ACA marketplace plans. Many retirees qualify for premium subsidies on the ACA marketplace based on their retirement income, bringing quality coverage down to $250-650/month for similar or better benefits. The key is comparing actual out-of-pocket costs (premiums + deductibles + max out-of-pocket) rather than just monthly premiums, and only choosing COBRA if you have ongoing treatment with specific doctors who aren't in ACA networks. One year of overpaying for COBRA is $13,000+ you'll never get back—money that could fund two years of travel in retirement.
  • Up to 85% of your Social Security becomes taxable once your "combined income" (AGI + tax-exempt interest + 50% of Social Security) exceeds $44,000 for married filing jointly or $34,000 for single filers. With a $33,000 RMD and $45,000 in Social Security, your combined income is $55,500 ($33,000 + $22,500), pushing you well into the 85% taxation zone where you'll owe federal income tax on $38,250 of your Social Security benefits. This "tax torpedo" catches most retirees by surprise—they assume Social Security is tax-free or only lightly taxed, but the combination of RMDs and Social Security creates a hidden tax increase that can cost $15,000+ annually. This is exactly why Roth conversions before RMDs begin are so valuable—they reduce future RMDs and keep you below the 85% threshold.

Struggling? Such mistakes could cost you up to $245,000.

Yes, Men Do Need a Different Approach

Most retirement advice treats everyone the same. But the data shows that men face fundamentally different retirement challenges than women:

Shorter Life Expectancy

● Average male life expectancy: 76 years
● Average female life expectancy: 81 years

Different Social Security claiming strategies, different annuity decisions, different long-term care planning

Different Health Insurance Needs

● Men are 40% more likely to have heart disease by age 65
● Men delay preventive care 2-3x longer than women

Different Medicare plan priorities, different HSA strategies, different coverage gaps to address

Higher Risk Tolerance (That Backfires)

● Studies show men take 20% more investment risk in retirement
● Men are 2x more likely to delay taking Social Security (often incorrectly)

You need guardrails to prevent overconfidence from destroying your security

Different Income Patterns

● Men average 15% higher lifetime earnings but worse savings discipline
● Men are 3x more likely to be primary earners affecting spousal benefit strategies

Your Social Security, pension, and withdrawal strategies need to account for these realities

Less Support-Seeking Behavior

● Men are 60% less likely to ask for help with financial planning
● Men wait an average of 8 months longer to address retirement concerns

You need a system you can follow independently, without endless advisor meetings

The Man's Retirement Plan accounts for all of this. Every strategy, every worksheet, every decision tree is calibrated for the specific challenges men face in retirement.

"This is the plan I wish I'd had 3 years ago."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rated 4.8 by 500+ Customers

"I was about to claim at 62. This guide saved me $87,000."

"I'd always planned to take Social Security at 62. Everyone in my family did. But after going through Step 10 in this plan, I realized that waiting until 67 would add $87,000 to my lifetime benefits based on my health and life expectancy. I also learned my wife could claim spousal benefits, which I had no idea existed. This guide literally changed our retirement."

Tom Richards, 61 - Phoenix, AZ

"Medicare was terrifying. Now I actually understand it."

"I'm 6 months from turning 65 and I was dreading Medicare. I didn't understand the difference between Part A, B, C, D—any of it. My buddies all had different opinions and none of them made sense. The Medicare section of this guide walked me through every decision, showed me exactly which plan fit my health situation, and I enrolled confidently without overpaying. Worth every penny."

Frank Delgado, 64 - Tampa, FL

"I was making $12,000/year in unnecessary Roth conversions."

"My advisor told me to do $50K Roth conversions every year starting at 59. Sounded good. But after reading the tax strategy section, I realized I was filling the 24% bracket when I could wait 3 years and fill the 12% bracket instead. Over 10 years, that's a $120,000 difference. I fired my advisor and I'm following this plan now."

Greg Paulson, 58 - Denver, CO

"Finally, someone who explains this stuff in plain English."

"I tried reading the SSA website. I tried watching YouTube videos. Everything was confusing or contradictory. This guide is the first thing I've found that explains Social Security, Medicare, and withdrawals in a way that actually makes sense. And the worksheets let me plug in MY numbers—not some hypothetical example. This should be required reading for every man over 55."

Daniel Kim, 62 - Seattle, WA

"This is the plan I wish I'd had 3 years ago."

"I claimed Social Security at 65 because I was scared of running out of money. Looking back, I should have waited until 70—I'm healthy and my dad lived to 88. I also picked a Medicare Advantage plan that sounded cheap but ended up costing me $8,000 in out-of-network expenses. I bought this guide for my younger brother so he doesn't make the same mistakes I did."

Michael Torres, 68 - Austin, TX

"I avoided a $35,000 IRMAA penalty I didn't know existed."

"I was planning a big IRA withdrawal to pay off my mortgage in my first year of Medicare. According to this guide, that would have triggered IRMAA surcharges on my Medicare premiums for 2 years—over $35,000 in extra costs. I adjusted my timing, spread the withdrawal over 3 years, and saved a fortune. This guide paid for itself 700 times over."

Steven Martinez, 66 - Orlando, FL

"I finally have confidence in my retirement plan."

"I've been stressed about retirement for years. I have money saved, but I didn't know if it was enough, when to claim Social Security, how Medicare worked, how much I could withdraw safely—nothing. I was paralyzed. This guide gave me a step-by-step system. I worked through every step, filled out every worksheet, and now I have a written plan I trust. The relief is unbelievable."

Paul Henderson, 59 - Charlotte, NC

"The withdrawal strategy section alone is worth $100."

"I had no idea there was a 'tax torpedo' or that the order I withdraw from my accounts matters. I was just planning to pull from my IRA because that's where most of my money is. The withdrawal strategy section showed me how to sequence taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts to cut my tax bill by $60K over 20 years. Unbelievable."

Brian Foster, 63 - Nashville, TN

"I showed this to my financial advisor. He agreed with everything."

"I've worked with a financial advisor for 10 years. I bought this guide just to compare. Honestly, it's better than what I've been paying $4,000/year for. My advisor even admitted the Social Security strategies in here were more thorough than what he'd recommended. I'm keeping the advisor for investment management, but this guide is now my retirement roadmap."

Kevin Lawson, 60 - San Diego, CA

"This should cost $500. I can't believe it's $37."

"I've bought retirement planning books, paid for seminars, even hired a consultant for $1,500. This guide is better than all of them combined. It's more comprehensive, more practical, and more actionable. The fact that it's $37 is insane. If you're a man in your 50s or 60s and you don't buy this, you're making a massive mistake."

Gary Inson, 57 - Boston, MA

Made by The Cereal Project Expert Team

Most retirement advice is scattered across a hundred websites, buried in confusing government documents, or locked behind $3,000 financial advisor fees. And almost none of it accounts for the specific challenges men face.

So we built what we wished existed: one comprehensive, step-by-step system that addresses everything—Social Security, Medicare, withdrawals, taxes—in the right order, at the right time, with real tools you can actually use.

30+ Years in Retirement Planning

"The biggest problem isn't that men don't plan—it's that they plan wrong. They claim Social Security based on a blog post, pick Medicare based on their neighbor's advice, and hope for the best. I wrote this plan to fix that."

Robert holds a CFP® certification and has been featured in retirement planning workshops across 12 states. Spent three decades as a financial advisor specializing in retirement income strategies before stepping away to focus on education.

"Medicare is a second language—and most people don't speak it. I've seen men lose tens of thousands of dollars simply because they didn't understand the difference between Medigap Plan G and Plan N, or they missed their enrollment deadline. This guide walks you through it step-by-step so you get it right the first time."

David Kowalski, CPA

22 Years in Retirement Tax Planning

"Taxes are the biggest controllable expense in retirement—but most men don't treat them that way. They pull money out of IRAs randomly, trigger IRMAA surcharges accidentally, and then wonder why their Medicare premiums doubled. With the right strategy, you can legally cut your lifetime tax bill by six figures."

David has written extensively on retirement taxation and advises clients on IRA withdrawals, Social Security taxation, and Roth conversion strategies.

James Mitchell

Former SSA Claims Specialist, 18 Years

"The Social Security claiming decision is worth $100,000 or more for most men—but people treat it like filling out a form. There are dozens of variables: your health, your spouse's age, your life expectancy, survivor benefits, taxes on benefits. Getting it wrong doesn't just cost you money—it can cost your spouse security after you're gone."

James left the SSA to focus on education and has helped develop claiming strategies for financial advisors nationwide.

FAQ

1. Is this just generic retirement advice I could find online?

This is a complete, sequential system specifically built for men ages 55-65. It accounts for male life expectancy, health risks, income patterns, and behavioral tendencies that affect retirement decisions. You won't find this level of specificity and integration anywhere else for free.

2. I already have a financial advisor. Do I still need this?

Maybe. If your advisor has given you a comprehensive, written plan covering Social Security timing, Medicare selection, withdrawal sequencing, Roth conversions, and tax optimization—you're set. But most advisors focus on investment management and provide limited retirement income planning. This guide fills those gaps. Many buyers use it alongside their advisor.

3. What if I'm older than 65? Is this still useful?

Yes—but it depends on where you are. If you've already claimed Social Security and enrolled in Medicare, Steps 7-18 won't apply. But the withdrawal strategy, tax optimization, and RMD planning (Steps 19-29) are still highly valuable. If you're 55-64, you'll get the most value because you can still optimize every decision.

4. What if I'm married? Does this account for spousal strategies?

Absolutely. Steps 9 and 11 specifically cover spousal benefits, survivor benefits, and how your claiming decision affects your spouse. The withdrawal and tax strategies also account for married filing jointly scenarios. If you're single, you'll skip a few spousal-specific sections, but 90% of the plan still applies.

5. Do I need to be good at math or finance to use this?

Everything is explained in plain English with real-world examples. The worksheets do the math for you—you just plug in your numbers. If you can use a calculator and follow step-by-step instructions, you can complete this plan.

6. How long does it take to go through the entire plan?

Most men complete it in 3-5 hours spread over a week or two. You don't have to do it all at once. Each step builds on the previous one, so you can work through it at your own pace. Some steps (like Medicare enrollment) are time-sensitive, so we highlight those clearly.

7. Is this updated for 2025 laws and regulations?

Yes. This guide reflects the SECURE 2.0 Act changes (RMDs now start at 73, Roth catch-up contributions, etc.), 2025 Social Security rules, current Medicare premiums and IRMAA thresholds, and 2025 tax brackets. We update it montly if necessary.

8. What format is this delivered in?

PDF download. You'll get instant access after purchase. You can read it on your computer, tablet, or phone—or print it out if you prefer a physical copy. All worksheets are fillable PDFs so you can type directly into them or print and handwrite.

9. What if I don't like it? Is there a refund policy?

Yes. 60-day money-back guarantee. If you go through the plan and don't find it valuable, email us and we'll refund you—no questions asked. We're confident this is the most comprehensive retirement planning resource available for men, and we stand behind it.

10. Why should I trust you over a financial advisor or the government websites?

You don't have to choode the guide instead of those resources—you should use it to make sense of them. Government websites (SSA.gov, Medicare.gov) are accurate but confusing. Financial advisors are helpful but expensive and sometimes biased toward products they sell. This guide translates the government rules into plain English and gives you the tools to make decisions yourself. Many buyers show it to their advisors, who agree with the strategies. Think of this as your personal education before (or alongside) hiring professional help.

P.S. You've Spent 40 Years Building Wealth.
Don't Lose It in Year 41.

Retirement isn't automatic. It's not "stop working and hope for the best."

It's a series of high-stakes decisions—Social Security timing, Medicare plans, withdrawal strategies, tax optimization—that will determine whether you retire wealthy or worried.One wrong move costs $50,000. Two wrong moves? $150,000. Three? You're in trouble.

But here's the good news: every one of these decisions is solvable.You don't need to guess. You don't need to hope. You don't need to pay $5,000 to a financial advisor.

You need a plan.The Man's Retirement Plan gives you that plan—29 steps, 26 worksheets, 90 pages of expert guidance—for less than the cost of dinner for two.

This is your one chance to get the launch price before it goes to $97.
