Experience

Holly D. Johnson is an award-winning writer and personal finance expert who covers a variety of topics within the personal finance industry, as well as higher education and travel. Originally from the funeral industry, she began writing about personal finance after starting her own investing journey. Johnson ultimately left the mortuary business well over a decade ago in order to explore her passion for all things personal finance and travel the world, and Johnson and her husband have built a debt-free lifestyle that has put them on the path to retire very wealthy in their 40's since those early days.

Johnson is also the founder of Club Thrifty, and her love of budgeting and finance led her to co-write "Zero Down Your Debt: Reclaim Your Income and Build a Life You’ll Love" in 2017.
