About Me
Ellie Kay,"America's Family Financial Expert" (R) is a wife, mom and an author/speaker/spokesperson. Ellie is married to "The World's Greatest Fighter Pilot" who cannot find the correct exit without her help (she wonders how he flies a jet without her in the back seat). The Kays have, collectively, seven children (four teens at once--eek!) and two very pampered mini schnauzers (they're so spoiled they should be named Prada and Gucci). The Kays make their home in Southern California. -
