Are You Done With Debt?

Gail Vaz-Oxlade, star of ‘Til Debt Do Us Part and author of the forthcoming Debt-Free Forever, has 5 fantastic tips for getting out of the mess you might have made with that credit card burning a hole in your wallet.

Get Your Career Moving This Holiday Season

Although lots of people gear down for the holidays, some smart slice.ca career girls are wondering just what they can do to take advantage of some of the slack that others create during this busy time of year.

Plan a Wedding in a Tanking Economy

The Rich Bride Poor Bride planners are finding that wedding trends in 2009 will be heavily influenced by the economy. Their upcoming weddings have scaled back the opulence and are going for more natural, relaxed events with the focus being on friends and family.

Money Talks (Part Two)

Gail Vaz-Oxlade shares her common sense path to financial bliss

Money Talks (Part One)

A lady who knows what it's like to be a mom, work in a job she hated and still have a little left over at the end of the month, Gail Vaz-Oxlade didn't just fall into financial success - she created it.

The Job Interview

You’ve landed an interview for your dream job. After putting together a portfolio, you’re ready to meet your potential future boss. But before you head off to that important interview, consider Slice.ca’s tips to leaving a great first impression.

Take It Like a Woman

We’ve all been there: you made a mistake on the quarterly report, you put cyanide in the coffee, and you shredded an important contract. One of your cube mates ratted you out and the boss wants to have a few words.

Fashion Sampler

If you’re not familiar with sample sales, you’re missing out on a wonderful world of discounted designer clothes, shoes and accessories. A sample sale is held either by a designer or a clothing distributor. The merchandise sold is either a production sample or last season’s overstock.

Kids and Money

Before children can learn to manage money well, they need to be able to get their hands on the stuff. Most people have no problem with that concept. But when it comes to what you should ask of your children in exchange for that allowance, the debate rages.

When I saw The Devil Wears Prada, there were some things I could relate to: I enjoy a good bagel in the morning, I have very little money with which to buy designer duds and I’ve had a boss who left a few things to be desired.

Survive Stupid Coworkers

If Freaks and Geeks is another way of describing the people you work with, odds are you often wonder if you’re working in a corporate building or a nuthouse. If you’re living in a bad rip-off of The Office or you’ve memorized every line in Office Space, then it’s time to take action.

Dressing for Success: Not So Farfetched

Whenever someone tells me that I should dress for the job I want, I think about the day when I will actually have the cajones to wear my leather pants, guitar, and tattoo shirt to work. But it does make sense to look your best and project a successful image at work, especially if you’ve got your sights set on an office with a door. We interviewed some fashion experts and fashionable professionals to see what they had to say.

Survive on Little to No Money

Of course you needed that leather purse/pair of designer jeans/Sex and the City DVD box set last week. But now you’re a little low on cash and by a “little low,” we’re talking call-your-parents-for-a-loan territory. Put down the phone. You can make it through the next week with a virtually empty bank account; you just have to be shrewd with your cash.
