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.

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!

Felt pressured to sign up for a 4k program with little info, felt like I wasn't taken seriously

I was interested in the program after randomly seeing posts in my Instagram feed. I follow various finance influencers, and really like to learn. I signed up for a call to learn more about the offerings. Specific details about the program were not shared with me, just basic general info that didn't convince me it was worth investing $4,000. I felt pressured to sign up immediately during the call and it made me extremely uncomfortable. I actually had to turn off my video because I started crying due to the high pressure sales tactics Brennan was using. It was honestly quite traumatic, and I wonder if the fact I am a young woman played a role in this. DATE OF EXPERIENCE: 4/14/2023 I was also blocked on Instagram after leaving a comment on a video that was not inappropriate or anything. He censors anyone that challenges him. NOT OK! He thinks he can control the narrative. There are many other creators offering free or lower cost content. I prefer Her First 100k. EDIT requested June 28th after my review was flagged for defamation. Sharing an honest experience, although a few years later, is not the same as defamation. I don't recall even having the option to share on TrustPilot when it happened, and honestly I am just so irritated when I have no way to share an actual lived experience about a business because they seem to have someone working around the clock deleting any type of comment they consider defamatory. Again, BudgetDog is trying to censor and control the narrative. That cannot work long-term. BudgetDog denying my experience and saying they have no records is false. If they are doing things in an organized way, they will be able to find I had a meeting with them in 2023, I attended the meeting, and I did not feel comfortable signing up for a very VAGUE program and spending thousands of dollars without knowing exactly what I was getting. I didn't add a TrustPilot review when I should have (maybe it wasn't even an option back then?), but I emailed BudgetDog after the incident, being professional. Not surprisingly, that email was ignored. Obviously I do not matter at all to to them as a prospective customer even though I can easily pay for the program if I determine it makes sense for my situation. They assumed I was not worth their time since I'm not willing to drop 4k on a vague program without specific details! That is how you lose potential future customers. As a female, there are many times in life I'm not taken seriously by men who assume things about me, but don't actually know me. It's especially frustrating when I'm trying to be open minded about my finances and learn about other perspectives, and then get treated the way I was treated. If you keep track of emails properly, you should have a record of this email in addition to the video call. I will add some details from my email since I you demanded additional details. I said I had X amount of money already invested and I was interested in re-evaluating those investments, exploring different strategies, and just learning more in general. I could have easily been a customer if the communication had been different. I did not feel respected as a person. "It felt like you didn't take me seriously. I was genuinely interested in your program, and I felt pressured to immediately "go for it" before having detailed information. I'm always very skeptical when it comes to being sold something, and I take things slowly." I will change to 2 stars even though I believe it should be 1, since they responded to my review LOL. Since I had a real rough experience with simply trying to learn about a program, it should be one star, but I'll do what I have to do to not not be censored. Again, I don't pay thousands of dollars for something when information is withheld. I'm going to screenshot this new submission for my records, in case it is deleted. Please keep in mind, many people do not like high pressure sales, and that can drive away customers. Hopefully you can learn from this experience and accept the fact you made someone feel really bad after an exploratory call.

Thank you for sharing this. I want to address the key claim directly. I have never personally conducted calls at Budgetdog for any of our various services. We offer a range of programs and services, and our fulfillment team is trained to help prospects find the right fit, not pressure anyone into a decision. Our scheduling records confirm zero meetings were booked under your name during the timeframe referenced. I’m also noting this review references an experience from April 2023 and was posted in 2026, over three years later. We take all feedback seriously regardless of timing. If you’d like to reach us directly, we’re at [email protected].

Just signed up with BudgetDog and…

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!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for being part of BudgetDog Academy! It takes a lot of honesty to look closely at your finances, and we're so glad you've embraced both the challenges and the wins along the way. Finding out that your UTMA contributions weren't being invested must have been disappointing at first, but we're grateful you caught it now so you can move forward with confidence. That's exactly what this journey is about, gaining clarity, making informed decisions, and building better habits one step at a time. We're excited to see the progress you and your family continue to make. Thank you for trusting the process and for letting us be part of your journey!

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.

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-06-20

Thank you for such a heartfelt review. It means a lot to hear that, after years of feeling stuck, you now have a renewed sense of hope and a clearer vision for what’s possible! 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!

Thank you for taking the time to share this. Reviews like yours mean a lot because they reflect the real impact that can happen when a clear plan is paired with consistent action. It's especially exciting to hear that within just a few months, you've been able to create a budgeting system that fits your life and gain clarity around the future you're working toward. Knowing that you now have a roadmap for both retirement and providing opportunities for your children is incredibly rewarding to hear. We truly appreciate your trust in the Academy and your willingness to share your experience with others who may be considering taking that first step. Wishing you continued success as you build on the momentum you've already created!

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!

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-06-17

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It’s amazing what can happen when goals that once felt distant finally get paired with a clear plan and a path to follow. We're so glad to hear that the Academy has helped you and your wife gain greater insight into your finances and build a stronger foundation for your family's future. Seeing families become more intentional, confident, and aligned around their financial goals is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for trusting the process and for allowing us to be part of your journey!

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.

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-06-14

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.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s incredible to hear that the program has already paid off many times over through your returns and asset growth, but even more exciting is the confidence and control you now feel over your financial future. 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. Brennan & Team Budgetdog

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.

The level of hands-on care and…

The level of hands-on care and accountability are hard to come by with a service like this. I am thoroughly impressed by Budgetdog Academy and the amount of value they OVER deliver on. It's incredible. Plus they operate with the highest integrity, always tell like it is, supportive beyond measure. It's no wonder their students have the success rate they do in managing their money, their futures, and security. Well worth the investment!

Responsive

The entire BDA team is amazing! Very responsive to all inquiries and they offer a wealth of information to put into practice! So many things I wish I knew earlier in life! The quick turnaround in inquiries makes a huge difference!

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-05-27

Thank you for the kind words. Having responsive support and practical guidance available when questions come up can make the process feel much smoother and more productive. We’re glad the experience has been valuable for you and appreciate you recognizing the effort the team puts into supporting the community!

Pathway to better future

Starting with BudgetDog, I figured it would be right away into the investment learning. But out of the gate, it was a crash course in learning how you’re currently spending and how to view your budget as a whole. That step has been enlightening and helpful. The team has been great with information and motivation. Overall the experience is two thumbs up.

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-05-27

We’re glad you shared this perspective. Building a strong financial foundation first can be a real eye-opener, and it’s great to hear that process has already been helpful and impactful for you. Thank you for the kind words about the team and for taking the time to leave a review. Excited to see you continue building from here!

Strong recommendation

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!!

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-05-28

We really appreciate you sharing your experience. Going from having little financial background to feeling confident and having a clear direction forward is a huge shift. It’s great to hear the coaching support, flexible learning structure, and opportunities within the Academy have all added value along the way. Thank you for the strong recommendation and for being part of the Budgetdog community!

Trust the process

Budgetdog has helped me break down my finances into manageable, bite-sized pieces. While I already had a solid understanding of many financial topics, this program dives deep into every aspect of personal finance and provides a level of detail that truly sets it apart. The community is fantastic, and the coaches do an excellent job of keeping you accountable and motivated throughout the process. If you’re looking to take control of your hard-earned money and build a life you can genuinely enjoy, I highly recommend Budgetdog.

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-05-26

Having the right structure, accountability, and community support can make a huge difference in staying consistent and intentional over time. Thank you for the recommendation and for being part of the Budgetdog community.

BudgetDog Equals Two Words, Game Changer!

It is with great pleasure that I can honestly state that BudgetDog is making a difference in people's lives. Not only from a financial standpoint, but from one that will boost your self-esteem and force you to take action. At first, I was a bit hesitant, but this was only because of how life has a way of placing you into a comfort zone, one where you get use to a routine. At 41 years old, I can say that I am truly grateful that I finally made the decision to take my retirement/investing mindset to another level with BudgetDog. My only regret is that I didn't take time to learn how to invest in my future a lot sooner. BudgetDog has made a big difference in my life, and it can do the same for you as well.

Reply from Budgetdog, LLC2026-05-25

Reading this was incredibly encouraging for our team. Stepping outside of a familiar routine and choosing to level up financially takes real intention, especially when life gets comfortable staying the same! It’s great to hear the Academy helped create not just financial progress, but a stronger sense of confidence and action toward your future. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad Budgetdog has had such a meaningful impact on your journey. Let's keep going!
