Budgetdog doesn't "give you a fish" they "teach you to fish"
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Budgetdog does not simply "GIVE you a fish" (metaphorically speaking), they "TEACH you to fish" in order to set you up financially--for LIFE.
Budgetdog meets you exactly where you are in terms of your finances and investments and walks you through step-by-step exactly what needs to be done to gain financial independence without judgment or criticism. It's not a gimmick or a scheme--it's simply fundamentals of personal finance and investing, backed heavily by research. You choose your own broker (Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, etc.), your own accounts, your own low-cost ETFs or index funds based on your personal risk profile, and then set up everything on automatic so you can have your life back and stop worrying. The peace of mind I've gained from this program over my own finances and being able to retire early is well worth the cost. I have spent WAY more over the years on a financial advisor who has merely been "giving me a fish" year after year. Break free from the cycle, sign up for Budgetdog, and "learn to fish" for yourself!

Budgetdog is Life Changing
Budgetdog has been life changing, and I'm only about a quarter of the way through the process. The support is next level. As a finance professional, I thought I knew everything there was to know, I was incredibly wrong. Budgetdog has without a doubt changed the trajectory of my family's life, and I will be forever grateful to the entire team. If you are on the fence, like I was for weeks, jump in! I highly recommend it.

We’re especially grateful for your kind words about the team and the support you’ve received so far. There’s still plenty ahead, and we’re excited to see what you accomplish as you continue through the program.
Great for budgeting and developing a robust financial framework
Brennan and team do a great job building the system up from first principles all the way up to automated investment allocation. With thorough explanation of each week's topics, and tools to supplement, it is incredibly easy to see the impact this program can have on your life if you put in the time to follow along and build the life you want. Definitely would recommend this program to anybody looking for a clear roadmap to financial freedom!

Five months in and it's exceeded my expectations
I’m five months into their program and it's already been worth the investment tenfold! I mean that literally.
This program doesn't just help you make changes in the moment. It teaches you how to maintain those changes, make informed decisions, and how to build true wealth over time without letting finances take over your life. The curriculum is thoughtfully laid out, and the support has been exceptional and genuinely personalized through their weekly live calls and one on one support.
After years of “looking into things” and “trying to figure it out,” I finally have real clarity, direction, and peace of mind around my finances. Not to mention a solid plan that aligns with my values, current circumstances, and future goals.
This isn't just a “for now” investment. This program was clearly created with the long-term success of their students in mind, while understanding that everyone’s financial situation is unique.

We’re just getting started with the Academy and we’re already seeing progress! We’re soaking in all the material and taking small but meaningful strides. Just today, we found over $1900 in Unclaimed Property all because we took their advice and checked to see if we had any just sitting there! It was so simple but it took what felt like a giant first leap to join. Can’t wait to see how much more is in store for us!

learning so much!
I'm about 2.5 mos (of 6 month program) into my budgetdog academy and its been eye-opening. I thought I was somewhat financially savvy but BDA teaches you everything all under one roof and it opens your eyes to so much more. It's not about being or becoming rich - it's about using what you have and making it more fruitful - making your own money work for you as opposed to working for your money in the hustle and grind, the rat race, or the 10 to 5. There are a lot of students but I never feel lost in the mix - Brennan and the top coaches message you privately and truly care about your progress. I'm always very skeptical of people/things/businesses and even asked point blank before I signed up, "are these fake people?" because the reviews are glowing, but now I know why. I look forward to seeing where the next 4 mos take me

BDA has helped us see where our money was going and how to budget better. We now are actually in control of our money and are working to make it work for us. When life happens, I am not anxious about the money part anymore because BD has helped me prepare for such things. Thanks BD! I'm still learning and still growing but am so thankful I found you.

Master's degree in our personal finances
We are very pleased with the Budget Dog Experience. It is like taking a Master's certificate in personal finance. The program offers a lot of education and resources towards helping everyday people like me and my wife to better understand our finances and take better control of that part of our life. I wish that I had taken this program earlier in my life. Even so, I am glad to be learning it now.
