Origin Members Reveal Their Proudest Money Moves of 2025
What was your biggest money win this year? Not necessarily the type of life update filling social media, but the change that made you feel more confident, prepared, and comfortable. As we approach the end of the year, we asked Origin members for their answers, which were refreshingly meaningful.
The most common win: Clarity
The top answer, among a handful of choices, was: “I got more clarity and control over my financial picture,” which a full 40% of respondents selected. As one respondent put it, “I finally know where my money is going with Origin.” — Jesenya
This one wasn’t as quantifiable or tangible as some of the other multiple-choice options (which we’ll get into more below), but it’s definitely one of the most important. Gaining a sense of control over your money grants understanding and peace of mind — and is a key step toward owning your wealth-building journey.
The honorable mentions
These were the other top answers from the list of options (and respondents were encouraged to select all that applied to them):
- 25% gave themselves permission to enjoy their money a little.
- 27% started investing more consistently.
- 27% became more intentional with their spending.
Paying off debt was also a major achievement for many this year:
