The coaches and staff At Budget Dog have been wonderful to work with. Their insight and empathy have made the experience of what might otherwise be challenging introspection in application, both effective and smooth.

The programming and the direct support from coaches and the community has been excellent.

Week four of this program is pretty intense but, we did it! We decided on the path to crush our debt and pull back on some post tax investments we had in place. The pay down debt or Invest calculator was phenomenal in helping us make our decision. Super excited to wrap this week up with love in our hearts and a new focus on growing our wealth.

The courses are structured well and easy to follow. The pace is kind to people with busy lives. The student posts sharing both struggles and wins are relatable - they keep us going when we’ve lost the drive and motivation to keep going.

Honestly wasn’t sure what we were getting ourselves into but the wealth of knowledge that BudgetDog is, it’s incredible. We’re still a little early in the process but I’m pretty sure it’s changed our lives. Glad we took a leap; hoping before too long we’ll be really glad!

I knew i needed accountability for my personal discipline. Life has been super busy. Finishing my MBA 4/26, my middle graduates high school and doing final college visits. Got 2 weeks behind & was giving myself a panic attach. Stayed focus knowing I need to do this. Sold something that covered all but $100 of a credit card debt. Took a $100 from my pay and paid it off in full. Started the last week of December. Extra expenses have been discouraging due to the snow and college visits and take-out due to exhaustion but I have paid off 3 of the smaller credit card balances now. Removed the items from my vision board. Eyeing the next 3 credit cards to hopefully pay off by June if not sooner on my debt schedule & vision board (compliment each other). My focus is debt payoff but have a very small amount flowing to high interest savings for emergency fund & a small amount into a brokerage account. Something is better than nothing. Hoping to sell more stuff to help pay some more cards off faster. A little excited today looking at everything. Kept up with fitness 3 mornings before work going on 5 weeks!!! I have lost inches from the emotional eating stopping and the focus on health & consistency. It all seems to be a total package.

Budgetdog Academy is worth the investment! Not only are you investing in yourself now but you're investing for the long haul. I thought I knew how to go about my retirement, investments, and financial goals...but there's soo much I'm learning as the weeks go by that I don't think I ever would've learned. You learn a system, that will not only help you reach your financial goals, but change your mindset! Not to mention you get an awesome team that is there to help you every step of the way, keeping you accountable! From someone who was very skeptical and unsure about the commitment, It's worth it!

My husband and I joined a finance mentorship 3 months ago called Budgetdog. 💴 It’s a 6 month course, and gets pretty in depth. We’re half way through, have fine tuned our budget, continued to pay off debt from the fire, been learning about investing, retirement plans, dollar cost averaging, the stock market, all that good stuff. For the first time in, I think forever?? We have a buffer in place, are working to set up automatic payments where we can, and just executed our very first automatic investments to our retirement accounts. Now they’re set up to recur monthly and I don’t even have to think about it. It’s been a lot of time we’ve invested in the class, live call, learning, and growing, but I feel like like for the first time we’re taking back control of our money, and not letting our money (or emotions) run us. If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, clueless, or hopeless of what your future & retirement look like, I’d suggest you schedule a free call and talk to them. It’s not cheap, it’s an investmwnt, which for us felt a bit like a step backwards as we’ve zeroed in on paying off debt. Reflecting this morning, talking to him, I’m really glad we decided to invest in ourselves and future. And that we are learning and are our best advocates, not only are we avoiding unnecessary fees from a financial advisor, but we’re in control and understand what we’re doing. They hold you accountable, there’s an online community, calls each week, tons of resources and online information. While I still feel like there’s so much to learn, I have at least a small understanding now, and it was really stressing me out that we’re both self employed without a real structure for retirement. One of the big take aways is just not letting the unknown hold you back; because time is the biggest aspect here. Don’t try to time the market, set things up to happen automatically so you don’t make emotional decisions, and don’t panic sell lol. I had been listening to Dave Ramsey for month’s, and I do really like him, but I’ve made so much more progress learning and putting a true system in place that also allows us to still live a life & not only be beans and rice, iykyk. I don’t recommend people, mentorships, or programs easily. I haven’t even said a word until now publicly that we’ve been doing this so I could see some of the results myself. Today our first automatic investments from our submitted & approved plan executed. That feels pretty dang good! I’m really grateful for the progress we’ve seen in just 3 months, I know our future is going to be brighter because of it. Don’t let your finances control you, grab the reins, say yes to a change, be disciplined, open, and make a change! We’ve got this! 🎉
