I was really lost and stuck with how to get out of debt and properly plan for my future. They are all very responsive and helpful, the community is great, and the materials are thorough yet simple enough to follow along and actually learn. The community with the other students is also very encouraging and inspiring. I highly recommend. It’s an investment, but 100% worth it!

I've learned so much about budgeting…
I've learned so much about budgeting and investing. I thought I was good at budgeting and that I just needed to learn about investing but turns out I still needed both. I finally started taking retirement seriously and now I know exactly how much I need to put aside monthly to reach my goal. Budgetdog is totally worth it.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s awesome to hear that Budgetdog helped you strengthen both your budgeting and investing knowledge, especially when it came to getting serious about retirement. Knowing exactly what you need to put aside each month to reach your goal can bring so much clarity and confidence. That’s exactly what we want for everyone who joins the Academy, and we’re excited to see you keep building toward your future!

Real, one-income, homeschooling family
Real, middle-income family here, living off one income, homeschooling 3 kids & opened a new business 7 months ago & not consistently profiting yet. We started 2026 knowing we wanted to get out of debt, but didn't get serious about it until June/July. We were making small strides, doing a zero-dollar budget & putting any extra cash towards debt, nothing major but still shrinking our debt balance. We stumble upon Budget Dog Academy. We had ZERO intention on signing up, what else could we learn? We had done the Dave Ramsey method 10 years ago (I guess we never really stuck with it), but after chatting with Brennan we started feeling intrigued. The things that stood out were "investments" "savings for kids" "wills" these were things that unfortunately never felt within reach. We decided to take the sales call & at least hear them out, but we knew we probably wouldn't sign up. During the call we discussed our zero-based budget & a comment was made "that's a lot of money for groceries". It wasn't said rudely, it was a quick comment that I left the call thinking, is $3-$5k in restaurants & groceries REALLY a lot of money....Well, Yes! Yes it absolutely is! But we aren't great at cooking, how do we shrink this budget? Glad to report since starting budget dog we have brought down our grocery/restaurant budget to $1,700/$1,800!!! We had a goal to get a credit card down to $5,500 by October, but with Budget Dog Academys help with our budget we PAID IT OFF with money we found within our budget!! We are only on week 6, but we have a solid plan. All our small debts will be PAID OFF by winter, we will start 2027 by dumping money into our mortgage to pay it off 3 years later & we will start investing at the beginning of 2027 & plan to be financially independent by or before 10 years from now. We went from not only living paycheck to paycheck but most months we had to take from savings to finding 4k to put towards debt within the first month & finding $2,200/mo every month after to put towards debt & investments. We haven't even barely been in the course much but have learned so much & feel so much more free. Its hasn't all been easy, but Budget Dog is there for you with any questions you may have & will help guide you. We can't wait until January when we can start investing from all the monthly debt bills we used to pay. We would highly suggest the course.

Clear Guidance and Support Every Step of the Way
I truly appreciate how they explain investing in a way that is easy to understand, making what can sometimes feel overwhelming much more approachable. They genuinely want to ensure you understand what's happening every step of the way. Their communication is excellent, and they are always responsive and willing to answer questions. It's reassuring to know you have someone by your side throughout the entire process, making sure you feel informed, supported, and confident along the way.

Thank you for trusting Budgetdog and for sharing such encouraging feedback with us. We’re grateful to have you in the Academy!

Grow your money... WISELY AND RESPONSIBLY
The team is excellent and I have personally enjoyed so much the learning experience. We all want to get in with the purpose to grow our money. What I have found is that initially the structure of the academy puts a bit of a break on investing and makes sure the basics and your personal needs are truly understood. The academy provides tools that lead to that money growth in a wise and responsible manner. So glad I joined and I am not even done with the program :)

Rocket Fuel Results!!
Can't believe that since joining BudgetDog in May of this year we have:
— Gotten married
— Bought a home
— Fully funded our Roths
— Only $10k of debt left and we'll be debt free
(Other than our home)
— And a year from now Sevana will graduate from Nurse Practioner school debt free.
Future looks bright! 😎🔥
Response from Budgetdog, LLCSep 25, 2026
Thank you so much for sharing this! What you two have accomplished since joining in May is incredible. Getting married, buying a home, fully funding your Roths, and being so close to debt freedom is a lot to celebrate.
And knowing Sevana is on track to graduate from Nurse Practitioner school debt free makes it even sweeter. This is exactly why Budgetdog Academy exists, to help people build a financial foundation that creates more freedom and confidence for the future. So excited for everything ahead for you both! 🔥😎

Great learning platform and community
BDA is a great learning platform and community of like-minded clients who are getting finances in order and building wealth for the future. This is the kind of personal finance I wish they taught in schools. And Brennan and the team are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and disciplined- making progress easier than simply watching videos and trying to learn on one’s own. I trust them and the results have been great.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCSep 24, 2026

Thank you for being part of BDA and for sharing your experience with others! It means a lot to the whole team. 🤝

Based community
The community is so great and refreshing. There's a wealth of knowledge here which is mostly fundamentals packaged with a plan that you design then get coached on. If there's ever a spot where you struggle you can reach out to the community and get some help or perspective really quick. I would highly recommend this to anyone struggling with personal finance.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCSep 22, 2026
Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s awesome to hear how much you’ve enjoyed the community and the support that comes with it. Having strong financial fundamentals is important, but turning them into a plan that’s actually yours, then having coaching and a community to lean on when you get stuck, is exactly what we want Budgetdog Academy to provide. We really appreciate the recommendation and are excited to see you keep building on your progress!
