A Woman You Love to Hate
I can see why another woman would love to hate Ellie Kay! She tells a great story, loves her husband and kids and tells us how to save money on top of it all! I'm a guy who found this book to be incredibly full of helpful information and the only reason I can see for a nick picking review is that others may be jealous! I didn't see the God factor in this book, although it's plain her family ...

Fresh and humorous, and right on track
Ugh! Budgeting, investing, credit ratings... the moms of my acquaintance change the subject. This book is so confident, easy going, and well-written that it makes the subject palatable. I can even lend it to my financially illiterate friends without them interpreting it as, "get the hint, sweetie." All around, great advice. Each time I read it, I try to make a habit of one new idea from ...

Great look at life during deployments
This book is a wonderful tribute to all the things that can happen during a deployment. It's a humorous approach to life as we know it in the military. Deployments come and go, it's how we survive them that tells us who we are! While the very few negative comments on this site suggest the book is not for everyone, I disagree. It IS for everyone. Ms. Kay's book is not a protocol manual on what ...

Great Way to Save Money
This is a small, pocket-sized book that you can throw in your purse and take with you. It is full of excellent tips on how to save money so you can pay down your debt, get more "bang" for your buck, and use that extra money not only to improve your quality of life, but the quality of life for others. One thing I like about Ellie Kay is that to her it's not all about saving money so you can ...

I'm already saving $$
As a mom to 2 teenage boys (and a husband who counts in the teenager category most of the time)my grocery bill is astronomical! Ellie's book is jam packed with practical, easy to implement ideas that saved me money the first week after reading it. Last night I shopped the Walgreen circular (something I would have never done before taking Ellie's advice) for toilet paper, paper towels, laundry ...

She's done it again!
Ellie is a gold mine of information regarding saving money and spending what we have wisely. I have 3 children and was pulling my hair out trying to teach them that the way to earning money is not by holding your hand out to daddy. I have read this book more times than I can count and have found and implemented many ideas. My 13 year old daughter is not very fond of her actually having to do ...

Beautiful, informative, useful book
I received this book after I got engaged from my mother who ordered it from a Christian book catalog on a lark. I am forever grateful she did! Out of the dozen or so wedding planning books I bought/ received this first chapter of this book was more enlightening and applicable to planning my wedding! Secondly, it is not a book about wedding planning--she starts there and quickly moves on to ...

Thoughtful and Not Religious
I am a Jewish, liberal and loved this book. Don't know what the other reviewers balked at a few religious elements, it seems there may be another agenda, they are so minor in comparison the overwhelming information that is found in this book. I enjoyed the FICO score update, learning a few things in the process. I also like the author's style as upbeat, fresh and clear. There's no sense of ...
