Conference At A Glance
2010 Conference Presentations
ELLIE KAY
Author of a dozen books, popular speaker, corporate educator and
spokesperson, and mother of seven, Ellie Kay has walked her
own financial talk and knows what it’s like to be strapped
for cash and struggling. Within two and a half years, she
went from being a new wife and stepmom to two
children with $40,000 in consumer debt to being completely
debt free-all on one military income! Within 15 years and
while adding five more children to the family, Ellie was
able to pay cash for their cars, buy and furnish two
five-bedroom homes (one after selling the other), take
wonderful vacations, dress fashionably, build a nest egg for
retirement, send the kids to college loan-free, and give
away more than $100,000 to nonprofit organizations around
the world.
