retirementAging is not for sissies. Not only will your body start reminding you of all of those merry days and nights when you ignored it, hoping faintly you could do so for ever and with impunity. Your income will change dramatically, too.

Now what? Well, you have a simple choice: accept it, sit down in your rocking chair and wait till death do us part. Or, on the other hand, you will NOT accept it and live life to the fullest. You will find that - theoretically, at least - you ought to have much more time to live life to the fullest now that you don't have to be in the office from nine to five. Guess what? You're barely coping.

That's called the Parkinson's Law effect: work (or any other activity, for that matter) fills the time that is available. (You should obtain a copy of the law in any good bookstore. You won't regret it. It will add more laugh wrinkles to your face, and these are the best wrinkles one can have.)

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.

Super BowlBy Barbara Thau
Retailers and consumer products companies are on charging toward a touchdown on Super Bowl Sunday.

Consumer spending related to the big game Feb. 5 is expected to reach an all-time high this year, with the average watcher projected to shell out $63.87 on Super Bowl-related merchandise -- from team apparel and TVs to snacks -- up from $59.33 in 2011, according to a new survey by the National Retail Federation's Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, conducted by BIGInsight.

Super Bowl
Super Bowl Sunday is coming and you know what that means: Coca-Cola (KO) polar bears will be hamming it up, the E*TRADE (ETFC) Baby will charm viewers, and Audi's new LED headlights are going to do in some vampires. Ferris Bueller will even make a surprising return.

Yes, the New England Patriots and New York Giants will interrupt the entertainment to run some football plays, but everyone knows that the Super Bowl is really all about the commercials.

With advertisers spending a record average of $3.5 million this year for 30 seconds of pitch time, sponsors certainly seem to think that they'll be getting their money's worth. But will their shareholders feel the same way?

Fans of John Hughes' classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off will have to keep waiting for a real sequel.

A teaser with Matthew Broderick reprising his role as the happy-go-lucky Bueller -- sort of -- is actually a taste of a Honda (HMC) commercial that will make its television debut during Sunday's Super Bowl.

Facebook, Twitter, and blogs were ablaze earlier this month with buzz that Broderick's middle-aged turn as Bueller wanting a day off from work was actually a precursor to a full-blown movie. The fact that Hughes died two years ago didn't seem to matter. The lack of production buzz in a day and age where few things in Hollywood can be kept secret didn't really register. The teaser pointing to Feb. 5 -- commercial-intensive Super Bowl Sunday -- didn't tip off faithful fans of the coming-of-age comedy.

Superbowl
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Call it the "second-screen" Super Bowl.

About two-thirds of smartphone and tablet owners use their gadgets to do things like text or post on Twitter while watching TV, according to research firm Nielsen. So, for Sunday's game, companies from Coke (KO) to Chevy are trying to reach fans on all the "second screens" they have.

My three year-old was recently given a piggy bank by his grandmother and has taken great interest in putting money into it, taking it out and looking at it. He's interested in organizing the money and when we recently went to the store and bought two freezies with his saved-up change, he was proud of making the exchange with the store owner. Until now, my son has accumulated money by finding change my husband and I leave lying around on the kitchen counter and on our dressers. (No more coffee change for me). But seeing his early interest in money made me wonder when is a good age to introduce your child to the value of a dollar and how. I approached Canadian parenting expert and author Kathy Lynn and asked her to share some tips on introducing your little ones to the big world of money.

The First Step
You can show a toddler dollars and coins but wait until the preschool age before giving him his own money, Lynn advises. The first step? Lynn says simply let him pay for something and then talk about the transaction.

Remember cute 12-year-old Haley Joel Osment in the film Pay It Forward? In case you missed it, the film is about a young boy who tries to make the world a better place by helping three people who, in turn, will help other people. This Hollywood film sets an excellent example for anyone who wants to succeed in life and in business.

On occasion we may hear stories about how a millionaire paid a financially struggling woman's late electric bill or a celebrity who left a 200% tip to a waitress. Kind gestures, indeed. But you don't need to have the wealth of Oprah and her 1% peers to make a positive change in someone's life.

Everyday people can and do make a big difference.

By John Rosevear

Ford ToyotaToyota (TM) may have lost the U.S. sales lead, but it still leads in one key survey -- and that lead should give fans of the automaker hope as it gears up to retake lost ground.

Toyota retained its crown in the latest edition of Consumer Reports' annual survey of auto-brand perception, a sign that many consumers remain loyal to the company despite its struggles in recent years.

But the survey also showed that homegrown competitor Ford (F) is rapidly closing the gap. And other brands aren't far behind.

On the surface, it seems simple: Pay off your debt and keep it paid off. For anyone mired or wallowing in a debt hole though, such advice sounds trite, almost laughable and easily dismissed.

There are a number of ways people get stuck in this murk. Put aside for a minute that a huge amount of revolving credit is made readily available to virtually every member of society (it's not all that difficult to find stories about companies accidentally issuing platinum credit cards to babies, deceased grandmothers and the family dog). Sometimes it's the simple and unfortunate life events, those which can happen to just about anyone, that drive a lot of people into positions where they need help.

Given how widespread the problem is, it's not all that surprising to see a whole industry of debt settlement specialists springing up online, on the airways and in advertising just about everywhere you turn.

Some of these companies are legit but a lot of them are predatory too, promising to dispense with a would-be clients' debt in a very short time, usually for a fraction of what's owed.

winter beautyYou don't have to go broke to be beautiful.

True, caring for your hair and skin in the winter can be a challenge, and you'll probably spend more money on beauty essentials during the colder months.

Very often hair of all types becomes frizzy, dull, and unruly. Exposure to extreme temperatures is the culprit. Moreover, heat from blow dryers, flat irons and curlers don't help either. So what can you do about it?

First, don't go on a spending spree winter-proofing your beauty routine.

The truth is expensive hair care products are not always better for the health of your hair. In fact, there's no reason to spend more than eight dollars on hair care products. Nevertheless, your stylist may tell you that the drugstore brands are inferior. The next time you're in the beauty aisle, pick up a high-end brand and a cheaper brand, and compare the ingredient list.

Notice that the list is similar? The price won't tell you the value of the product on your hair. The truth is both expensive and inexpensive hair care products have more in common than you think. What's the difference? Price. Do you want to know more money-saving tips for beating the winter hair and skin care blues? Here are some great tips!

So far, it seems those predictions are spot on. CNN Money is reporting that American Airlines plans to cut 13,000 Jobs:

"American Airlines told its unions Wednesday it plans to cut 13,000 jobs from the staff of 88,000 at (America's) No. 3 airline.

The cuts will fall most heavily on the airline's maintenance operations, which will lose 4,600 jobs. More than 4,000 additional ground worker jobs will be eliminated, as will 2,300 flight attendant jobs."

Its been unseasonably warm for many of us across Canada - and the desire to flee into the sun has been lessened by temps hovering at zero and the lack of blizzards.

But what about the ski and snowboard crowd? For them, this winter so far has been a disappointment. All that new gear brought by Santa has so far seen little action.

Although there are package deals to be had geared towards
getting away for a romantic night, not all of us are in the
position to jet off to Chicago with our mate on February 14th
for a night of good eating, theatre and a posh hotel.

Who really has the cash right now to pay for the airfare for two, a sitter for the kids and tipping a doorman several times all in recognition of one night?

But that's not to say Valentine's Day shouldn't be recognized -- I've always been a big believer in doing something special for your significant other on the 14th. Even if it is an appreciation that is somewhat forced, it does remind us not to take our partners for granted (at least for one day).

Here are a few ideas on how to treat your sweetheart without getting walloped with a big bill at the end of the night.

finances
Money troubles are hard to contain, and if your own finances are in shambles, the problems can quickly bleed through to the rest of your life. As private as you hope to keep such issues, don't kid yourself into thinking that you can hide them from your employer.

According to a recent study by the Society for Human Resource Management, some 83% of HR professionals think that personal financial challenges have at least some impact on employees' performance. Those same HR professionals aren't blind to economic reality -- 80% of them believe that employees at their organizations are facing more financial challenges than they were five years ago.

And it's not a stretch to connect the dots: How you manage your own money can have an impact on the work you do for your company.

Will 2012 bring better fortunes for these organizations?

24/7 Wall St. compiled its list of companies most likely to vanish by focusing on those that are serious mergers and acquisitions targets, those that are weak players in industries with too many competitors for any to become highly profitable, corporations that Wall Street believes are worth more in parts than intact, and generally, those in good old-fashioned deep fiscal trouble.

Theses are the 9 companies that we're betting won't survive to see 2013.
