How Jessica Winslow Uses Origin

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I’m Jessica, I live in Nashville, where I’m a support operations manager in health tech.

What money goals did you have when you first downloaded Origin?

I really just wanted to gain a better understanding on where my money goes and more of a sense of control over it.

What’s your financial story? What motivated you to get serious about money, and where are you hoping to go from here?

I went through a period of unemployment that lasted longer than I was prepared for. By the time I started working again, I was basically starting from zero in terms of savings. After getting back on my feet, my goal is to hold myself more accountable for sticking to a budget and start thinking longer-term.

With the current market ups and downs, how are you feeling about your finances, and what helps you stay steady?

Generally, I try not to get too wrapped up in how the market’s doing — mostly because I never did well in econ classes. I have to remind myself to focus on what’s in my control so that I don’t get too stressed out over it.

Tell us about a specific win — big or small — that Origin helped you achieve.

Overall, Origin has helped me achieve my goal of better understanding and feeling more in control of my finances. The AI budgeting tool has been a game changer, and having everything in one place has helped me begin to make smarter decisions.

What advice would you give someone starting their Origin journey?

Origin is already great out of the box but like any other product, it’s going to take some time to tailor it to your unique needs, habits, etc. New features and updates roll out often, so definitely ask questions and share feedback along the way, too.
