A full breakdown of every lesson inside Million Dollar Year — 219 videos, nearly 100 hours of training, a 12-step core program, and two full bonus courses — before you buy it through Courses On Budget.
Dow Janes – Million Dollar Year Index Review in 2026
~100 hours of training · 219 videos · 12-step core system · 2 bonus mini-courses · 16-topic Training Vault
Most “finance courses” are two or three hours of theory dressed up as a transformation. Million Dollar Year by Dow Janes is the opposite problem — it’s so complete that the real question isn’t “is there enough here,” it’s “where do I start.” After indexing all 219 videos for this review, the honest number is nearly 100 hours of training across a 12-step core program, two full bonus courses, and a 16-topic reference vault. This review breaks down exactly what’s in each piece, how the 12 steps are sequenced, who genuinely benefits, and where to preview a lesson for free before buying.
Four Programs in One Download
The core is the 12-step system: Commit, Heal, Ground, Aim, Save, Design Budget, Enjoy, Protect, Borrow, Plan, Invest, Give — each step has its own set of videos, a workbook, and in several cases a ready-made spreadsheet (financial dashboards, auto-save trackers, budget templates). Layered on top of that core: the 1000 Month mini-course (a full side-income system with its own 4 modules), a dedicated Clear Your Credit Card Debt program built around a 7-step payoff method, and a Training Vault — 16 separate topics from investing and estate planning to negotiating scripts and tax season, most of them long-form masterclasses rather than quick tips.
A Full System vs. Piecemeal Advice

| Sequential, 12-step framework | ✗ Scattered posts | △ Depends on the coach | ✓ Commit → Give, in order |
| Ready-made spreadsheets included | ✗ | △ Sometimes, extra fee | ✓ Financial dashboards, budgets, trackers |
| Debt payoff + side-income bonus systems | ✗ | △ Separate engagement, extra cost | ✓ Both included, no extra fee |
| Cost | Free but fragmented | $3,000+ / year | One-time, active coupons available |

How to Actually Use a Course This Size
With nearly 100 hours of content, trying to “finish” this course like a Netflix series is the wrong approach. The realistic path: work through the 12-step core program in order — that’s roughly 8.5 hours of video and is designed to be paced over weeks, not days, since each step asks you to actually do something (track spending, build a budget, open an account) before moving on. The Training Vault, at over 81 hours, is not meant to be watched linearly — it’s a reference library you return to when a specific topic becomes relevant: taxes in March, negotiating a raise before a review, estate planning after a life change. Treat the two bonus mini-courses (1000 Month and Clear Your Credit Card Debt) as standalone add-ons for whichever problem is most urgent right now.
Who This Course Is For
- Anyone starting their financial system from zero — the 12-step sequence assumes no prior structure and builds one from Commit through Invest and Give.
- People juggling multiple financial priorities at once (debt, low savings, no investing plan) who want one system instead of three separate courses.
- Side-income seekers — the bundled 1000 Month mini-course is a genuinely separate system for finding an extra $1,000 a month.
- Not the best fit for someone who just wants a single quick answer — if you only need one specific topic (say, negotiating a salary), the Training Vault section covers it, but buying the whole program for one topic is overkill.
- 219 videos, ~100 hours — the most complete finance program in this category
- 12-step sequence, not a random topic dump
- Ready-made spreadsheets: financial dashboards, auto-save trackers, budgets
- Two full bonus courses (income + debt payoff) included at no extra cost
- Free sample lesson available before buying
- Large scope — best worked through step by step, not binged
- Some tutorials assume a Google Drive/Sheets or Kajabi workflow
Almost 100 hours of training, a 12-step sequence that covers the entire arc from your first budget to giving, and two complete bonus courses thrown in — for a one-time download, this is as close to a full financial-planning practice as a course gets. If you’ve been patching your money habits together from free blog posts and spreadsheet templates, this is the version with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Get instant access, including the free sample lesson, through Courses On Budget.
