How is this program different from other budgeting tools out there?
Focused on the Process
Achieving your dream lifestyle starts with a proven budgeting process. Learn how to budget first, then start seeing the results!
It’s simple and easy to use
The more features and capability that a tool has, the more complicated it is to use. We don’t need our budgeting tool to do everything, we need it to help us do one thing easily so we can be successful and stick to our plan.
Not Connected to your Bank Account
Some tools make you connect your persoanl account information which presents a security risk. Additionally, connecting your bank accounts can make things too easy. We believe in the process and know that “set it and forget it” doesn’t work when it comes to budgeting.
Editable to meet your needs
Do you like to categorize things a certain way? You can easily do that with our Budgeting Tool. You’re not forced to use terminology that doesn’t make sense in your life.
Although we had already started our journey of paying off debt, we took Finance Your Detour for fresh ideas and to help keep us on track! This program achieved that and more! It is not only packed with easy to digest information, it is presented in a captivating format with videos, workbooks, and activities. Their budgeting tool simplified our lives and we now use it religiously. Using the techniques they teach, we were able to pay off $91,000 of debt in one year while traveling full-time! We highly recommend this program to anyone interested in taking control of their finances to achieve greater freedom in their lives.

Wow! What can I say about Finance Your Detour?
When I bought the program, I felt regret and frustration about my financial decisions. Within the first 20 minutes of starting this program, I felt empowered and ready to take the next step towards financial freedom! Dan and Lindsay have created a program that really strikes you right through the heart in the best way. I feel they genuinely understand just where my husband and I are coming from…and they want to help! Working through FYD has helped my husband and I open our eyes to what is possible when you make your money work for you! We have already seen so much change in our marriage, wallets, and future. Thank you for creating this program!!

Paying off a lot of debt and funding your dreams are some big scary goals. It’s something that’s really easy to talk about but a lot harder to take action. As full-time RVers with our own business, my husband and I were feeling the weight of our debt and needed to make serious changes to hit our goals of financial freedom. We enrolled in Dan and Lindsay’s course to stay accountable and learn from the pros who have already done it, and we are SO happy we did! The first module alone gave us so much confidence in budgeting and making smart financial decisions. Not only are these two an inspiration, but they’ve put together a program that is actionable and easy to follow! We now have a real budget for the first time and are actively paying off debt. If you have any goals to pay off debt, save, and fund your big dreams, then Finance Your Detour is a no-brainer.
