Gail Vaz-OxladeWalletpop Canada sat down and interviewed Gail Vaz-Oxlade and discussed her new book 'It's Your Money: Becoming a Woman of Independent Means' at the offices of Harper Collins Canada.

Vaz-Oxlade hopes her book will get people to stop being scared and start taking action. While the book is geared toward educating and empowering women about issues such as divorce, becoming a parent, or becoming widowed, there's also lot of great information for men as well. It's never too late to improve your financial health and the sooner you do, the better.

"I think it's really important that we come to realize that life is about balance, that it's not all or nothing. It's not spending every waking moment thinking about money or spending no time thinking about money," says Vaz-Oxlade. "Managing money isn't really that hard. It requires some discipline and there is some detail involved, but in reality it doesn't take that much time and the payback is huge."

Tim TebowGlory alleluia! Did you see that throw?

For those of you who may not be huge football fans, I'm referring to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's 80-yard strike for a huge overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend.

Tebow has caused a stir in the sports world because he's a deeply religious young man who has managed to pull off a few seemingly miraculous wins. Whenever he scores a touchdown, Tebow is known to take a knee and acknowledge Jesus - something that has become known as "Tebowing" (watch an example at the 36-second mark of this video).

Of course, taking a knee and acknowledging God after a home run, goal or touchdown isn't new. But Tebow is one of the few who seems to really mean it. With the Broncos heading into New England to play against the Patriots this Saturday, Tebow is almost bigger than the game itself.

So was Tebow's amazing overtime win divine intervention? Who knows. One thing is certain, though: the Dallas Cowboys may be America's team, but this year Denver is looking more and more like God's team.

BankCan the bank be a friend to someone in a difficult time?

"I'm not sure if a bank can be your friend," says Rob Livingston, President of Capital One Canada. "But a bank can really help someone who has credit issues if the person who has the issues reaches out to the bank and clearly explains their situation."

Livingston explained that a lack of communication with the bank is one of the most common mistakes customers make. It's sad because in a lot of cases, explaining your situation to the bank can help alleviate stress and get the bank working with you on a solution.

financial literacySeveral great things were said and learned over November during Credit Education Week, which was held across Canada during Financial Literacy Awareness Month. That's the good news.

The bad news? November 2011 is over and now we have to put all that new-found financial literacy to work. For most of us real life - or the real fight - has begun: the financial demands of Christmas, tax season, and school.

Unfortunately for some of us, real life never really stopped - growing children, health demands of aging parents, food prices on the rise, household debt, and an economy which seems stuck forever in neutral.

Laurie Campbell, Executive Director for Credit Canada, says putting a spotlight on money management and credit issues during Credit Education Week has been key to helping people understand the importance of financial literacy.

emergency preparednessTwo things really struck me about the great blackout of 2003.

First, we're really dependent on everything working perfectly all the time. And when they don't, even for inconvenient non-emergencies like garbage strikes or a sewer repair, we don't handle it very well.

The second thing that struck me was how simply taking time to plan made all the difference.

fraudIs your computer protected?

Many people who are asked that question either aren't sure or don't really think about it. Then there are those who think their computer is safe, but may not be as secure as they think they are.

Keeping your computer protected is one of the most important things you can do. But according to Nicky Mezo, head of marketing for PayPal Canada, says most people don't give the issue the attention they should.

"Security really is our business. Safeguarding our customers, it's our backbone," says Mezo, who spoke to us during Fraud Prevention Month.

PayPal, an eBay company, has more than 94 million active accounts in 190 markets and 24 currencies around the world and sells itself as the faster, safer way to pay and get paid online. The service allows members to send money without sharing financial information, with the flexibility to pay using their account balances, bank accounts or credit cards.

Breast Milk Ice CreamIn London, some big babies are crying foul over banned milk, specifically, the decision by Westminister's Health Protection Agency and Food Standards Agency to halt sales of "Baby Gaga" breast-milk-based ice cream to the public.

Although the agency told London-based BBC, "We will support small businesses and applaud innovative ideas wherever possible," the controversial ice cream was pulled from the menu at the trendy The Icecreamist shop following two consumer complaints.

The Westminster Council reports it will test the product to ensure it is fit for "human consumption." Hmmm. Wonder what they'd find if they tested those little jars of stewed prunes we all ate as babies ...

Icecreamist founder and breast-milk visionary, Matt O'Connor, insists giving Baby Gaga a "time out" is unwarranted. O'Connor told the BBC the breast milk had been medically screened and the milk was pasteurized.

The Tory Westminster Councilor Brian Connell responded, "Selling foodstuffs made from another person's bodily fluids can lead to viruses being passed on, and in this case, potentially hepatitis."

In spite of a steep price tag ($23 per scoop), the shop quickly sold out of the first batch and according to O'Connor had fans and donors alike lining up for more. "We have had an amazing response," he told the BBC, "many women have come forward and offered to give us milk."

In fact, in a related story on WalletPop it turns out there is no shortage of lactating ladies ready, willing and able to share their milk for a good or tasty cause.

Self-proclaimed, ice cream "revolutionaries," the creators of Baby Gaga invite customers to "Lick their addiction" to the sweet stuff in a shop described as a "rehab room and treatment program." Luxury department store, Selfridges calls The Icecreamist offerings, "More Sid and Nancy than Ben & Jerry."

Some of us do have a bit of a thing with ice cream. The question is how far are we willing to go?

"You can buy alcohol and tobacco but not breast milk in Westminster," said a petulant O'Connor. Pick your poison.

Who's your Mama?

We're accustomed to hearing about crime as we try to relax in front of the television following a hard day of work.

But over the past several weeks, it feels like it's been one negative development after another, especially with Libya and more recently, the disaster in Japan.

As of this moment, a large scale rescue is in full swing as the country battles to contain a fire at the nuclear plant following a third explosion Monday night.

Early estimates say the death toll could soar past 10,000 people.

As the images of the disaster beamed around the world, Canadians from all walks of life reached into their pockets to help out any way they could.

Aol DailyFinance is reporting that stocks nudged higher Friday as investors gauged the fallout from a massive earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan.

The quake, one of the largest in history, triggered massive tsunami waves that killed hundreds.

The prospect of falling oil demand from Japan, the world's third-largest oil consumer, sent crude prices down sharply, as did the failure of anticipated protests in Saudi Arabia to draw large crowds. Crude oil fell 1.3 percent to $101.30 a barrel.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 22 points, or 0.2 percent, to 12,006 in afternoon trading.

The two-year-old child test.

For this epsiode, Caplan Gordon let her own children lead the test as they threw, kicked, spun, and dropped the Gyro Bowl. The question: was the gyro bowl as spill proof as the creators claim?

"The Gyro Bowl is a plastic bowl for kids that is never supposed to spill," says Gordon. "Cheerios will stay in any bowl when I use it, but when my two-year-old gives it a try, serious spills."
