Having a baby is one of the most expensive life changes that many of us will go through in our lives. Between the actual medical expenses you rack up in childbirth and the cost of raising a child, it’s enough to encourage anyone to start a budget.

For Jessica Fisher, that was quite literally the case. When she was in the hospital about to give birth to her third child, she was panicking about the cost of bringing home another baby when a post for a budgeting app showed up in her Facebook feed (can they read minds now too?!).

She decided to sign up right then and there.

Meet Jessica

Jessica Fisher and her husband Ryan are both teachers raising their family of three children. Like many families, the couple made enough money to get by but didn’t have a lot leftover for things like vacations and nights out. 

“I thought budgets were for people who had a spending problem.”

 The couple eventually found HOPE on that fateful day in the hospital, and their financial life has transformed. In the two years they’ve been using HOPE, Jessica and Ryan have paid off debt, built their savings cushion, and completely changed their mindset around money.
