Budgetdog has changed our lives for the better. Brennan and his team are so supportive and their coaching style is personable and very easy to comprehend. They have opened our eyes to what are finances are and what we can actually accomplish. Your dreams matter and they will do what it takes to help you achieve every one of them. No dream is too big. They also use an approach that helps you prioritize your day to day routine and family responsibilities first. They get that life happens and they adjust along the way. The budgeting is realistic as well. It’s not just cut everything out that you love for a while, rather let’s make it fit so you can enjoy the journey! I’m forever grateful we found them and cannot wait to see where it takes us!

I am beyond happy for taking this course with Brennan and his team. So much thought has been put into this academy and it gets better and better! Although I did not finish all the modules (because life happens), I got so much out of it and it was worth it! Brennan not only built an academy, he built a community like no other.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It means a lot to hear that the Academy made such a positive impact for you, even with life getting in the way of finishing every module. We designed it to be something you can come back to whenever you're ready, so knowing you still found it worthwhile is incredibly rewarding.

We truly appreciate you being part of it, and we're excited to be cheering you on wherever your financial journey takes you next.
Eye opening!
So far it’s been great! The budget alone was eye opening and we’ve already saved money in our first few weeks and haven’t really cut back much at all. The investing is the part we are most excited about and we can already see how successful this is going to be for us.

BDA is not your normal financial class
BDA is not your normal financial class. It really deep dives into every nook and cranny of where you’re spending your money. It gives you the knowledge about not only finances but about yourself and why you have your relationship with money that you have. The way they teach should be taught to everyone as they are growing up and learning how to deal with their money. My only regret with BDA is not doing it sooner! Take the chance on yourself and sign up!

Budget dog has been great for us & our family! We finally feel like we have a plan set for our son’s future and our early retirement. This was something we always wanted to achieve, but had no guidance prior to budget dog. The team is always checking in and making sure your questions are answered which is a great feeling. Knowing you have an expert in your corner at all times is exactly what you’ll get. Highly recommend!

Life Changing Content
Joining budgetdog academy was one of the best decisions my wife and I have ever made. The coaches have been very helpful along the way and the content is amazing. 60 days in and the amount of money we are saving on unnecessary expenses in month 2 compared to month 1 has been extremely eye opening. Life changing stuff for us and our son’s future. Can’t wait to see what else the academy has to offer.

Just signed up with BudgetDog and learned so many things so far..
After the 3 month analysis and now preparing our budget, we’re definitely over spenders! BUT that’s not it.. we found out that we weren’t investing some of the money we were contributing to a UTMA account. At first it was disappointing, but what a blessing in disguise! Lost a couple of years of investments, but thank goodness we caught it. I say this is a small win. Looking at our numbers have been tough, but I know we’re slowly making progress. Thank you, BDA FAM, for the continuous support and encouragement!

The team at Budgetdog is AMAZING
The team at Budgetdog is AMAZING. They are all in it for the right reasons and its obvious. Brennan (owner/founder) has it all figured out and is sharing it with anyone willing to put in the work. We have struggled with our finances for over a decade and though we still have work to do, we also have hope that our goals are not outside of our reach and we have the financial education we need when became independent adults 20+ years ago.

Financial progress rarely happens overnight, but having the right education, support, and direction can make the journey feel far more achievable. We’re grateful you chose to trust the Academy and appreciate you sharing your experience with others.
Budgetdog delivers!
Budgetdog delivers on exactly what they promise. We have been part of the program for 2.5 months and they have absolutely turned our life around. Within four weeks we had a workable budget that doesn't take more than about 30 minutes a week to fine tune. We also now understand what we need to do to accomplish a fantastic retirement at an age that leaves us time in life to actually enjoy it as well as provide a sound start for all of our kids. Thank you guys so much!

BDA Experience so Far!
Before my wife and I joined the BDA team, we had never budgeted or actually sat down and figured out how we were going to reach our financial goals. We both knew what we wanted, but we never knew how much the BDA would help us achieve our goals, and how much insight we would gain on finances, investing and just obtain an overall healthier financial picture for us and our family.
Thank you BDA!

I love how each week is a building…
I love how each week is a building block for the next week. Understand the foundation then build. Small increments consistently done over time yields big results. Everyone wants the end result without the work and this program establishes those steps to be successful.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I love that you picked up on the building-block approach of the program because that’s exactly how we designed it.
Too often people focus only on the end result, but lasting financial success comes from understanding the fundamentals first and then stacking small, consistent wins over time. It’s great to hear that the structure of each week helped reinforce that process for you.
Our mission is to make personal finance feel approachable and sustainable, and your experience is a perfect example of how steady progress can lead to meaningful results.
We’re grateful to have you as part of the Budgetdog Academy community and excited to see where those consistent steps take you next!
Best. Decision. Ever.
We joined BDA in February 2026. At the time, we were saving money, but we didn't have a budget. Honestly, I was apprehensive about creating one because I was afraid of how much we were spending if we looked closely at our accounts. My husband had always encouraged us to keep a budget. I should've listened earlier. Haha!
Fast forward to today—we have a budget, and more importantly, we actually stick to it.
What's even more meaningful is that we became a one-income household in March when I left my job to stay home and spend more time with our baby boy. Thanks to the financial confidence and clarity we've gained through BDA, I'm able to enjoy this season with him without feeling guilty about walking away from a great career opportunity.
Joining BDA has been one of the best decisions we've made. What once felt intimidating—updating our budget and reviewing our finances—is now something we genuinely look forward to.
BDA has completely transformed my money mindset and made a lasting impact on our family. I've never felt more grateful, confident, or excited about our future.
Thank you, BDA, for helping make life better for our family! 🫶

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Reading how far you've come in just a few months is incredibly inspiring.
Making the leap from saving without a plan to confidently budgeting and actually sticking to it is a huge accomplishment. What makes your journey even more meaningful is that the clarity and confidence you gained through BDA helped make your transition to a one-income household possible, allowing you to spend this special season at home with your baby boy without the stress and uncertainty that so often comes with a major life change.
We loved reading that something which once felt intimidating has become something you genuinely look forward to. That shift in mindset is exactly why we do what we do. Money should be a tool that supports the life you want to build, not something that creates fear or guilt.
Thank you for trusting us to be part of your family's journey. We're so excited for everything ahead and grateful to celebrate these wins alongside you. Give that little guy an extra hug from Team Budgetdog! 🫶
Brennan & Team Budgetdog
Joining Budgetdog was the best decision…
Joining Budgetdog was the best decision I made in 2026 for my financial future. The cost for the 6 month program was made back 6 times over in my returns and asset growth in just 3 months. No pay to play schemes, and access to coaches and CPAs makes this a top tier program in my opinion. Weekly classes are easy to follow, but require you to put in the work to see the benefits long term. The community that Brennan and his team have created is inspiring. Follow the plan and see real world results based on a plan you design for your unique circumstances. Getting my financial future in order using this program means I will be financially independent in ~10 years, not crossing my fingers that I can retire in 25 years. I now have the confidence that my finances are secure and I’m in control.

You nailed what we hope Budgetdog Academy can be: clear weekly guidance, real access to support, and a community that helps people build a plan around their unique life. We’re fired up for what the next 10 years look like for you.

Budgetdog has been life changing for our finances
Budgetdog has been life changing for our finances. I was weary about the in initial investment but feel it has paid off in dividends. How? It has made us so much more focused on handling our finances. Paying off debt. Moving our cash flow towards investing for the long term. For the first time in my life (I’m in my late 40s) I feel like I have a handle on my finances and a true vision of my financial future.

I been following budgetdog since Covid. Finally joined BDA in 2026, life changing! Coming from not having any background in finance, now I feel sooo much more confident in my financial position and also have a clear roadmap in where I need to go to be financial free. The value of BDA is amazing the coaches support top-tier!! They care and work with you and your pace. What I love the most is how clear the trainings are and that you can play back in any part you’re not sure of. Also the opportunities presented in the BDA is also another huge plus!!
