Dan Miller is a personal finance writer who has been covering credit cards, student loans, investing, and all things money since 2013. His work has appeared in NerdWallet, Forbes, Business Insider, Rocket Mortgage, and Intuit Mint, among many others, and his family's savvy use of credit card rewards has even been featured on CBS News.
At The College Investor, Dan covers the topics that matter most to families navigating their financial lives: student loan repayment strategies, smart credit card use, budgeting, investing, and building long-term wealth. His writing is grounded in the belief that small financial decisions compound over time — a philosophy he lives out at home in Cincinnati, where he raises six kids with his wife and finds creative ways to stretch every dollar.
Dan is also the founder of PointsWithACrew.com, a site dedicated to helping families travel the world for free (or close to it) using airline miles and credit card points.
