When we launched Financial Highway in 2009, we were not sure exactly where it would go…fast forward two years to 2011 and it must be said we are very delighted with our progress and "achievements." Many thanks to our readers, subscribers and partners for getting us this far and a special thank you to our staff writers who have done an excellent job in a very short time!
Staff Writers
As promised last year, we have brought in a few new staff writers to bring you different perspectives on personal finance and we will continue to scout and add new writers with fresh perspectives. More about our writers.
New Design
Although the old design and theme were good, it was time for a facelift. Last week we launched our new design, we were going for a "clean" look and we have accomplished just that.
Blog Manager
In January 2011 Linsey Knerl join our team as blog manager. You may already be familiar with her work on Wise Bread where she was the community manager until recently. She has a vast amount of experience in personal finance and blogging and we are happy to have her on board.

Wall Street
1. Wall Street "In this riveting, behind-the-scenes look at big business in the 1980′s, an ambitious young broker (Charlie Sheen) is lured into the illegal, lucrative world of corporate espionage when he is seduced by the power, status and financial wizardry of Wall Street legend Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). But he soon discovers that the pursuit of overnight riches comes at a price that's too high to pay."- Amazon.com
- Glengarry Glenross
2. Glengarry Glen Ross “Often regarded as a critique of the Reaganadministration’s impact on the American economy, the play and film focus on a competitive group of real estate salesmen who’ve gone from feast to famine in a market gone cold. When an executive “motivator” (Alec Baldwin) demands a sales contest among the agents in the cramped office, the stakes are critically high: any agent who fails to meet his quota of sales “leads” (i.e., potential buyers) will lose his job.” Amazon.com
- Boiler Room
3. Boiler Room. “Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi) is a 19-year-old college dropout who strives for approval from his father (Ron Rifkin), a judge who is horrified that his son operates a 24-hour illicit casino. When an old friend visits the casino with a fellow broker, Davis is impressed by their wads of money and yellow Ferrari, and decides to join the firm. In no time he’s making sales and settling into the groove of the office and all the after-hours perks, but the dream fades when Davis discovers the scam that is making all of the brokers wealthy beyond their dreams.” Amazon.com
