If you're in the market for a mattress, then check out IKEA's mattress event. From now until February 26, you can get 15 per cent back in IKEA gift cards.

You can also not pay for six months when you shop using your IKEA gift card, but we think the 15 per cent back is a much better deal.

Every month WalletPop searches the MLS listings for attractive homes at a reasonable cost. We've limited our picks to homes selling for less than $400K for a survey of homes that most people can afford. The average home price was $360,396 in November across Canada, and many of the properties we highlight are even less than that. With mortgage rates at record lows, there's no better time to go house hunting and lock in at a low rate.

Have a look and see if anything surprises you this month.

Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith and American Idol fame, sang the U.S. national anthem earlier this week. Based on general consensus - and we mean The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post blogs, US Weekly and more - it wasn't very good.



Now to be fair, Tyler is one of the most famous singers in the world. He's had a 30-year singing career with a lot of highs (Permanent Vacation) and a few lows (epic drug taking with "toxic twin" and fellow Aerosmith member, Joe Perry). You may or may not be the biggest fan of his band, but the man can sing.

Here's a video of him signing live with Aerosmith:

retirementThis time of year tends to be the really stressful time of year when it comes to finance.

Are you contributing enough to your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)? are you paying off that holiday debt and are you set to do your taxes? And finally, do you have enough money saved to retire in a few years?

It turns out that only 16 per cent of Canadians have some sort of idea about their retirement and 38 per cent of Canadians have some sort of retirement plan.

Yikes.

One of the interesting things is who's actually doing the saving. It's not who you think.

You get used to company benefits. There's the comfort in knowing that your dental and your vision is partially covered by your company. You know that if something happens to you on the job there's the option of short-term and long-term disability.

Sometimes though, disability insurance isn't enough when you're ill, supporting a family, or if you're one of the 2.6 million self-employed Canadians in this country. There are no benefits for them. One of those alternate options is critical care insurance.

The new year means a lot of things for a lot of people. For me, it's an opportunity to reevaluate my personal financial habits, see what needs to be improved and then make an effort to change them.

Overall, it's not too bad. Like most Canadians, I'm concerned about paying down my debt - a mortgage - and saving for my retirement. As much as I would love a financial windfall, say, via lottery, that's not going to happen; so the alternative is to see where I can save some money without feeling completely deprived.

Realistic cost-cutting is what I'm talking about.
