This entire team is awesome and personal. The content is invaluable. It's practical financial problem solving with a supportive community. The resources are there beyond the terms of academy so you're not lost once it's over. Really great experience all around.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and powerful review. It’s incredible to hear how much clarity, control, and confidence you’ve gained in just a few weeks. That transformation is exactly what happens when you combine a clear system with real support and take action the way you have.
Identifying where money is leaking and learning how to redirect it toward savings, investing, and long term goals is one of the biggest breakthroughs anyone can experience. The fact that the steps felt actionable and that investing is becoming less overwhelming shows you’re building a foundation that will last for decades.
Your mindset shift is the true win here. Thinking long term, planning with intention, and making decisions that support stability instead of stress will change not just your bank account, but your family’s future. Feeling empowered and hopeful this early on is a sign you’re on the right path.
We’re honored you chose BudgetDog and grateful for the recommendation. You’re doing the work, and it’s already paying off.

I’m so grateful for BudgetDog Academy
I’m so grateful for BudgetDog Academy, joining was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my family’s future. In just a few weeks I’ve gained clarity, control, and confidence around our finances...something I never thought possible. The tools, lessons, and community support have helped me see where my money was leaking and how to redirect it into savings, investments, and long-term goals. I appreciate how the program breaks everything down into actionable steps and makes investing less overwhelming.
The biggest value has been the mindset shift: learning to think long-term, plan with intention, and make financial decisions that support stability and growth instead of stress. I feel empowered, hopeful, and excited about where we’re headed. If you’re serious about taking control of your money, I highly recommend BudgetDog.

MORE than financial help
This is more than financial help, this is an INVALUABLE mindset shift that happens when going through this course.
I'm still in the early weeks, but WOW, I'm a whole new person since I first started.
Previously, I had no control or awareness about where my money was going.
I was following the 'ignorance is bliss' way of being for far too long.
Now, I feel EMPOWERED to make better financial decisions with the help of the templates that are provided to manage my money.
Thank you BDA!!!

Thank you for sharing this powerful review. It’s amazing to hear how much of a mindset shift you’ve experienced so early in the program. Many people live in that “ignorance is bliss” stage for years without realizing how much stress it creates beneath the surface, so the fact that you stepped in, did the work, and already feel like a new person says everything.
Gaining awareness and control over where your money is going is one of the biggest breakthroughs you can have. The templates and tools are designed to make that clarity simple and repeatable so you feel empowered instead of overwhelmed, and it’s great to hear they’ve helped you step into that confidence.
You are doing the work, and it shows. Thank you for the kind words and for trusting BDA to guide your transformation.

BudgetDog has been a godsend for us
BudgetDog has been a godsend for us! We had been about to sign up with a financial advisor, but are so glad we signed up with BudgetDog instead! We are learning how to create and keep a good budget, which is KEY to helping us reach our financial goals! If we had chosen the advisor, we would have continued our bad habits with spending as he helped us invest. Brennan's system of track, grow and protect your money is so much more empowering!
Another thing that had us hooked was the fact that they have a counselor on staff to help you recognize subconscious beliefs that are holding you back financially. Getting to the root cause is so important for making lasting change!
Response from Budgetdog, LLCDec 2, 2025
Thank you for this incredible review. It’s powerful to hear how close you were to going the traditional financial advisor route and how grateful you are now for choosing a different path. You captured something most people never realize: if you invest without fixing the underlying habits and understanding your money, nothing truly changes. Budgeting is the foundation, and it’s great to hear how much clarity and structure you’ve already gained from building that piece first.
Brennan’s Track, Grow, Protect system is designed to give you control instead of outsourcing your financial life to someone else, and it’s amazing to see how empowering that has been for you. The fact that you connected with the mindset and counseling component is also huge. Getting to the root of your beliefs around money is often the missing piece that keeps people stuck, and addressing that directly can create permanent change.
We’re glad you trusted this process and even more glad it has already made such a meaningful impact. You’re building real financial strength from the ground up, and the long term payoff will speak for itself.

Tears of Joy
I just set up my first autopay since joining Budgetdog, and it's for my RENT! This is so huge for me on so many levels. I am giddy, nervous, excited, and proud of myself. I never would have set up an autopay before this mainly out of fear and control. Joining Budgetdog is really setting me free, and I'm here for it.
In only two weeks, this Academy has already completely transformed our lives. I'm in shock sitting in my kitchen with tears of joy. It's first time I'm excited to talk about our money with my husband, the first time I don't feel like it'll end with us "accepting" the situation but not really resolving it. The first time I feel FREE about our money. And it's only week 2!!! Thank you, thank you :)
Response from Budgetdog, LLCDec 2, 2025
Thank you for sharing this incredibly powerful update. Moments like this are why the Academy exists.
Setting up autopay for your rent may seem small on the surface, but the emotional shift behind it is enormous. You went from fear and wanting to control every detail to confidence, clarity, and trust in your plan. That is real financial freedom taking root.
The fact that you feel excited, giddy, nervous, and proud all at the same time says everything. You’re breaking old patterns and building a new relationship with your money — one based on systems, stability, and peace. That is life changing.
Hearing that it’s the first time you and your husband can talk about money with excitement instead of resignation is huge. Most couples never experience that breakthrough. You’re already rewriting the future for your family, and it’s only week two.
Your joy, your tears, your sense of freedom...they’re all deserved. You’re doing the work, and it’s showing up fast.
Thank you for trusting the process and sharing such a meaningful win. We’re honored to be part of your journey.

**Showing Up Consistently - The Foundation is Being Built**
We're currently in the second part of the BDA training, focusing on organizing our investing and refining our budget. Full transparency: we haven't nailed the budget yet - not even once. Between a major trip to Australia and several categories that keep running over, it's been challenging.
But here's why this gets five stars: the program works when you work it, and we're committed to showing up consistently.
Working with Avery, the internet based spreadsheet budget trackeing program, and implementing the BDA strategies has given us the tools and accountability we need. Each month we're learning, adjusting, and getting closer to that zero-based budget. The progress may not be dramatic yet, but we can see the foundation being built.
What's been invaluable is the community aspect - reading about other people's real journeys, struggles included, keeps us motivated and focused. The transparency from both the community and the admin team makes this feel achievable.
Brennan, Tom, and the entire admin team provide excellent support and accountability. They've created something special here - not a quick fix, but a real framework for long-term financial transformation.
We're building something sustainable, and we know the bigger wins are coming. If you're willing to do the work and stay consistent, this program delivers.
Highly recommend. We're in this for the long haul. 💪
Response from Budgetdog, LLCDec 2, 2025
Thank you for such an honest and thoughtful review. Your transparency about the challenges: the trip, the categories running over, and not hitting the budget perfectly yet, is exactly what makes your progress so meaningful. Most people think success comes from perfection, but it actually comes from consistency, adjustment, and showing up even when life is busy. You’re doing that, and it shows.
It’s great to hear that Avery and the BDA strategies are giving you the structure and accountability you need. The foundation you mentioned is the most important part because once that is in place, the results begin to compound. You’re already moving in the right direction, even if the wins don’t feel dramatic yet.
The community aspect you highlighted is one of the most powerful pieces of this program. Knowing you’re not alone, seeing others work through similar struggles, and having a team that is engaged and accessible creates real momentum. Brennan, Tom, and the entire team care deeply about making sure every student has what they need to succeed, and your experience reflects that.
You captured the heart of Budgetdog perfectly. This is not a quick fix or a shortcut. It’s a long term framework that works when you work it. You’re building something sustainable, and the bigger wins are absolutely coming.
Thank you for sticking with the process and for recommending the program. We’re proud of the effort you’re putting in and excited to see everything you accomplish from here.

Team Life Changers
The team was not only friendly and knowledgeable, but the coaches are very patient and let me go at my own pace which I really appreciated. They communicated clearly and effectively throughout the process and were constantly checking in with me to make sure I was not feeling overwhelmed. I highly recommend BDA.
