FrequentlyAsked Questions

What is a HENRY in finance?

A HENRY, or “High Earner, Not Rich Yet,” refers to individuals with high incomes (often $100K–$500K/year) who haven’t yet accumulated significant wealth. They typically face challenges like student loan debt, lifestyle creep, and lack of time for financial planning.

Should high earners who aren't wealthy work with a financial advisor?

Yes. Financial advisors can help HENRYs balance debt repayment with investing, minimize taxes, optimize retirement contributions, and create a long-term wealth-building plan.

How do financial advisors help high-income earners build wealth?

Advisors assist with tax strategies, budgeting, equity compensation planning, and smart investing. They also help avoid common traps like lifestyle inflation and missed tax-saving opportunities.

Do financial advisors work with clients who don’t have $1 million?

Absolutely. Many fee-only fiduciary advisors specialize in helping high earners in the early stages of wealth building, including those who haven't reached seven-figure net worth yet.

How do you get paid?
What experience do you have with clients like me?
