A Total Life Game-Changer
It's really hard to write a condensed version of what is done right... there is so much. The first thing I'd want someone who is thinking of joining the BudgetDog Academy to know is that they are getting far more than they can imagine with their course fee. The community itself is quite remarkable - - like-minded people with the same goals, but at varying stages of life and with varying experiences, who all truly draw inspiration from each other's wins and support the struggles. Second, the wealth of knowledge and resources you gain is beyond anything that you can imagine. The coaches are accessible, offer so much insight, they are patient with however many questions you ask, and encourage more and more so that you leave no stone unturned as you learn and grow through the program. I haven't ever been "excited" about our finances, but over the last couple of years, had started learning from various sources on socials, etc., never knowing if I was implementing in a smart way or not because I didn't truly understand everything there is to understand. This has been incredibly eye-opening and is pulling everything together and teaching from the base of things to the end. It's work... hard work... especially in the beginning, especially if you do due-diligence for yourself. But for the first time, I am excited when thinking about our financial future; I am excited realizing our financial independence is not actually as far out of reach as I thought. We are intentional with our spending and our goals, but still very much living our life and rolling with the punches knowing we have a plan in place. Having control of our own money, having intentionality with how we spend and where we invest, and building a solid roadmap to reach our goals are all major gifts we have given ourselves by making the decision to join BudgetDog Academy. We will forever be grateful and will always be active in this incredible community.

Transformed our finances and mindset — life changing!
Working with BudgetDog has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have made for our family’s future. We were overwhelmed with debt, unclear on how to move forward, and constantly worried about cash flow. Their framework helped us pay off over $57K in credit card debt, strategically recast our mortgages, and finally feel in control of our financial path.
The course materials are clear, actionable, and empowering — no fluff. What really sets them apart is the ongoing support and community. Brennan and the team genuinely care and show up for their members. We’ve not only improved our finances, we’ve redefined our entire money mindset.
Highly recommend if you’re serious about building wealth and getting intentional with your money.

It's incredibly rewarding to hear how the clarity, structure, and support helped not just your finances, but your entire money mindset. That shift is what creates lasting change. We’re proud to be part of your journey and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for your family.

The academy helped me level up…
The academy helped me level up significantly. This is the stuff we should have been taught in high schools all around the country. Digesting this information is certainly better sooner rather than later but better late than never.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCMay 22, 2025
Thank you for the kind words and honest reflection. We couldn’t agree more...this is the kind of practical, life-changing education that should be taught in every high school. We’re so glad the Academy gave you the tools to level up and take control, no matter when you started. It’s never too late to build a stronger financial future, and you’re proof of that.

The Budget Dog was really good
The Budget Dog was really good, and I learned so much from them. One of the things I tell my friends and family is how nicely they explain everything. Sometimes when I hear people talking finance I am like "Huh" but not with them. Everything always made sense. I had Vanguard for over 10 years and never understood what the heck I was even doing until I started their academy. Now all my investments make sense to me, and it is so much more rewarding. I have learned so much from them and I highly recommend checking out their academy.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCMay 20, 2025
This is exactly the kind of transformation we love to hear. Finance shouldn't feel confusing or out of reach, and we’re so glad the Academy helped make it all click. The fact that you’ve had investments for over a decade and now finally feel confident and clear on what you’re doing is a huge win. That’s what it’s all about: real understanding, real results, and a sense of control over your financial future. Thank you for sharing this and for spreading the word to your friends and family!

Changed Our Life
The information is taught very clearly, the coaches truly care about you and your wellbeing and are very accessible, plus the community helps each other out immensely and it’s for life!
Seriously, we were skeptical as well but took the chance. Now we feel like we have a plan to get out of our insane amount of debt and even have a plan to retire.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCMay 20, 2025
Thank you for this powerful feedback. It’s completely normal to feel skeptical at first, and we’re so glad you took that chance. Hearing that you now have a clear plan to tackle your debt and work toward retirement is exactly why we do what we do. We take pride in making the process clear, building a supportive community, and showing up for every student because your success is our mission. You’re not in this alone, and we’re excited to continue walking this path with you.

Budgetdog Academy is one of the best financial decisions I’ve made
I joined Budgetdog six weeks ago with the goal of getting my finances in order, getting rid of debt and gaining financial freedom. Within the first month not only did I create a new budget, developed a debt payoff plan, defined a list of cash goals and a clear roadmap to achieve them, I also freed up almost a $1000 in cash flow and am feeling so confident in my ability to become financially free. And I still have 4.5 months to go!
This is an amazing program, so well designed and laid out and the support I’ve received, both from the community and the coaches, is bar none. I am beyond excited to keep going and i know that everything I am learning will be with me forever. Brennan and his team are amazing and I am in awe of what they have created.
This was a total leap of faith and one of the best financial decisions I have made.
Response from Budgetdog, LLCMay 20, 2025
This is such an incredible review—thank you for sharing your journey so far. You’ve accomplished a massive amount in just six weeks, and the momentum you’ve built is inspiring. From freeing up nearly $12,000 annually in cash flow to creating a clear, actionable roadmap...this is exactly the kind of transformation we love to see. We’re honored you took that leap of faith with us, and even more excited for what the next 4.5 months hold. The progress you've made is just the beginning, and we’re so proud to be part of it.
