The Budgetdog Academy has helped me understand my finances. The Avery tool is a game changer and after I entered my information once I let it track my income and expenses allowing me to see where my money is being spent on. This is only the beginning and I’m looking forward to see the next steps.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCSep 14, 2025
Thank you for this wonderful feedback. It’s great to hear that Budgetdog Academy has already given you a clearer understanding of your finances. Avery was designed to simplify the process, and it’s powerful to see how tracking your income and expenses in one place has already given you visibility into where your money is going.
This is exactly the kind of clarity that sets the foundation for everything that comes next: building your plan, setting priorities, and making confident financial decisions. We’re excited for you to see the next steps unfold and proud to have you in the Academy.

Very happy with our decision
Right from the start we were given education and tools that proved to be effective as soon as month 1. Very happy with our decision to join BDA!

Week 3 Wins!
It's my birthday, so what better way to celebrate then to share my wins from these first 3 weeks!
🥳 Sharing my birthday month with @Erin Schlagbaum and Logan counts as a win in my book!
🤩 Clarity around where I'm living beyond my means and can trim to the tune of saving $2731 / month or $32,773 annualized.
🥰 Taking Tom up on the offer to ask questions directly to the coaches when I needed help thinking through some large purchase decisions in a smart and responsible way. His kind support made the best approach crystal clear.
😅 Getting caught up on weeks 2 and 3 this past weekend after falling behind after a busy few weeks.
💰 Consolidated 2 credit cards into a SoFi personal loan with 7.68% interest down from 22% and 29%.
💰 I opened my HYSA with a 4.65% interest rate. My daughter used my referral link to open hers, earning each of us another .5%.
💰 Took advantage of an incentive to open a checking account, that pays 1.25% interest, at a highly rated credit union which will earn me $475 once I set up my direct deposit. Again, my daughter used my referral link, earning each of us another $150 incentive (and she'll get the $475 too)!
💰 Sold $1000 item on Facebook Marketplace and more to follow.
💰 Closed $850K of business at work.
💡Enrolled in Budget Billing for both gas and electric and learned that I could opt in to have all of my household energy come from renewable sources which aligns with my values. I also learned that my municipal electric company provides free trees for folks who want to add shade to their yard to lower their electric bill. I rent, but wanted to share this tip in the hope that it may help people in our community.
😌 And the biggest win of all is feeling well held and supported by our stellar Budgetdog team and this community, providing so much hope, inspiration, and allowing me to release the anxiety from financial trauma.

Happy belated birthday, and thank you for sharing such a powerful update!
What an incredible list of wins in just three weeks. From freeing up over $2,700 a month, to making smart financing decisions, opening high-yield accounts, taking advantage of incentives, and even closing $850K in business, you’ve made massive progress in a short time. Just as important, you’ve gained clarity, confidence, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re in control of your financial path.
The way you highlighted both the practical steps (like consolidating debt and automating savings) and the personal support (from Tom and the Budgetdog community) shows the heart of this program in action. You’re absolutely right that sometimes the solutions are right in front of us, and having the right team and tools makes them crystal clear.
Keep celebrating these wins, big and small, because they’re proof of what’s possible. We’re excited to see what the next few weeks bring for you

Financial literacy is everything
Financial literacy is everything, and this program proves it. The Budget Dog Academy has been a total game-changer for me. The community is incredibly supportive, welcoming, and genuinely invested in each other’s growth. I’ve learned so much in such a short period of time, and it has shown me that no matter where you're starting from, you have the power to rewrite your financial future and create lasting security and freedom for yourself and your family!

Budgetdog has provided a lot of great…
Budgetdog has provided a lot of great resources to help improve our financial situation! A lot of the content feels so much like common sense that when you learn it it feels like you should've always known it, but it's so great to have all this info in front of you and a team to answer questions and cheer you on.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCSep 8, 2025
Thank you for the thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear how the resources have helped improve your financial situation and given you both clarity and confidence. You’re right that often the most powerful lessons feel like common sense once you learn them, but having everything laid out in front of you with a supportive team and community makes all the difference. We’re glad you feel encouraged and supported every step of the way.

More than an academy, it’s a family
I joined budgetdog academy a little over a month ago, and it has already made such a positive difference in how I manage my finances. The lessons are practical, easy to follow, and tailored for real-life situations. I love how everything is broken down step by step, making budgeting feel less overwhelming and more empowering.
The tools and strategies I’ve learned so far has helped me understand where my money is going, and I feel more confident about reaching my financial goals. The support and guidance from the team is also excellent. They are there to answer every single question or concern you may have.
I highly recommend this academy to anyone who wants to take control of their money, no matter what stage they’re at. It’s truly been worth it! To me, It’s more than an academy, it’s a family you become part of. I’ll forever be grateful for Brennan and his team

Immediate increase in financial peace
We’ve been with Budgetdog for just over a month, and it has already been such a grounding, helpful, encouraging experience for us. We saved enough cashflow in the first month that, when our dishwasher and vent hood went out, we could pay cash for new ones without disrupting our budget, adding to debt, or stressing out! Huge win! This kind of peace is so worth it.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCSep 7, 2025
Thank you for sharing this win. It’s incredible to hear how quickly you experienced financial peace after joining. Having enough extra cash flow within the first month to replace appliances without disrupting your budget or adding debt is a perfect example of the freedom that comes from having a clear plan. That kind of stability and confidence makes all the difference, and we’re proud to see you already reaping the benefits.
