Gail Vaz-Oxlade (born June 18, 1959 in Jamaica) is a Jamaican-Canadian financial writer and television personality who lives in Brighton, Ontario, Canada. Vaz-Oxlade hosts the Canadian television series ''Til Debt Do Us Part'', ''Princess'' and, most recently, ''Money Moron''. Vaz-Oxlade is also a regular columnist for Yahoo! Canada Finance. Previously, she was a regular feature writer for ''The Globe and Mail'', ''Chatelaine'' magazine, ''IE: Money'', and MoneySense.ca, among others.〔 Gail most recently ventured into the divorce realm by offering financially-based divorce services through Common Sense Divorce. ==Career== Vaz-Oxlade began her career after moving to Canada, working as an administrative assistant and later taking a job in marketing. In that role she was asked by a banking client to write a manual for its employees on its Registered Retirement Savings Plan products, which grew into Vaz-Oxlade writing all of the bank's technical materials.〔 Within a number of years, Vaz-Oxlade began freelance writing, ultimately writing 27 columns every month.〔〔 Citing burn-out, Vaz-Oxlade quit and moved to Brighton, Ontario with her family and over a two-year period did volunteer work and raised her family.〔 After that time, she was asked by a production company to host ''Til Debt Do Us Part''.〔 In her role on that show, Vaz-Oxlade describes herself as a "super nanny for money".〔 After seven seasons of hosting the program, Vaz-Oxlade agreed to continue with the show if the network, Slice, allowed her to do a new show. The network agreed, resulting in the creation of ''Princess'', which focuses on young women rather than couples.〔 In 2011, Vaz-Oxlade began a campaign advocating for changes in the way lenders assess lending criteria, particularly for credit cards. As part of that effort, Vaz-Oxlade urged Canadian consumers to stop using their credit cards for one week and pay cash only; as well, she urged Canadians to write to their Members of Parliament to urge changes in legislation restricting the use of credit scores in the granting of credit.〔
