Do you dream of the day when . . .
. . . Your credit cards are paid off?
. . . You have a savings account and an IRA?
. . . You can take a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation?
Then A WOMAN’S GUIDE TO FAMILY FINANCES is the book for you. Written in an entertaining, easy-to-read style, Ellie Kay will teach the reader how she took her family from over forty-thousand dollars in credit card debt to being completely debt-free in two and a half years.
Ms. Kay shows, in easy to understand chapters how to budget, how to save on essentials, how to go on a debt diet, and how to weather financial set-backs, including losing your job and looking for a new place of employment.
I don’t usually like to read how-to books, but this book reads like a good novel. I had to keep reading. I learned some really valuable tips and relearned others that I’d forgotten and am looking forward to putting my new budget into operation.
A WOMAN’S GUIDE TO FAMILY FINANCES is a book to read through once, but then come back to time and again as you are ready to make more financial changes. She advises you to start small and build your way up so you don’t go into shock and stop trying to save money. Whether you are a born spender or saver, A WOMAN’S GUIDE TO FAMILY FINANCES is a book for a keeper shelf to be read and studied over and over. I’d recommend having your teenagers read it too, especially if they are soon to be on their own.
Pick up A WOMAN’S GUIDE TO FAMILY FINANCES today. It is worth the small price you’ll pay—you’ll gain a wealth of knowledge in exchange.

If you have trouble with credit card debt, making ends meet, and live pay check to pay check or if you want more control over your money, including investing, building a savings, or working towards retirement, you owe yourself a copy of this book.
Even if you’re like me and have read most financial books only to be disappointed, you want this book. This former broker, now author, gives us unusual advice and creates fun ways to learn, develop, and implement a financial plan that will work. With chapters that help you determine your financial personality type and offers ways to use that type to your benefit, a chapter on household budgeting, surviving financial storms, and gives us ways to become generous as well, this book has something for everyone.
In addition to the easy to use practical advice, Ellie Kay writes in an easy straight forward manner that neither soars over the readers head nor mumbles the mind with formulas and complex strategy.
A Woman’s Guide to Family Finances is the perfect gift, too. Newlyweds, single moms, stay at home moms, working moms; we can all use something in this valuable resource.
Highly recommended by me!
