︎︎︎HIGH EARNINGS NOT RICH YET

are you a HENRY?

In the era of late capitalism, a new social archetype has emerged: the "HENRY" Short for „High Earnings Not Rich Yet" represents a demographic characterized by significant income but not yet substantial wealth.

Typically, a Henry is a young individual, often white, who benefits from the privileges inherited through capitalism, such as access to quality education and job opportunities. They earn substantial salaries, often in lucrative industries like finance, technology, real estate or law, allowing them to live comfortably and indulge in luxury goods. Despite their high earnings and family heritage, they may still be working towards accumulating significant assets or achieving true financial independence.

The term "HENRY" encapsulates the unique position of this demographic within the modern economic landscape, embodying the materialistic aspirations and challenges of late capitalism.
