Bio and experience
In addition to writing for Bankrate and the New York Post, Holly Johnson creates expert content for a variety of publications including CNN, Forbes Advisor, LendingTree, Time Magazine and more. Holly Johnson began her career working in the funeral industry, which may make you wonder why she works in personal finance now. Yet, the funeral industry taught the author everything she needs to know about the value of one's money and time. Johnson left the mortuary business a decade ago in order to explore her passion for personal finance and travel the world, and since then, she and her husband have built a debt-free lifestyle that has them on a path to retire in their 40's. Holly's love of budgeting also led to the creation of her debt payoff book, “Zero Down Your Debt: Reclaim Your Income and Build a Life You’ll Love."
