There's a name for this: HENRY—High Earner, Not Rich Yet.
Nice apartment. New car. And a net worth that's basically a rounding error.
It's more common than you think, and it usually comes down to one unexamined question:
What do you think money is FOR?
HENRYs treat money as a way to fund a lifestyle (often on credit). Wealthy people treat money as a tool that makes MORE money—something you put to work, not just something you spend.
That one mental shift changes everything:
* Buying things vs. buying things that pay you back
* Looking rich vs. real wealth
* A paycheck that feels safe vs. skills + assets that actually are
When it comes to money, the size of your paycheck matters much less than your mindset.
We break down the whole HENRY trap—and how to escape it—on the blog: “High Earner, Not Rich Yet (and Closer To Broke Than You Think)” ⤵
