If you earn over £100,000 a year but don’t yet feel rich, you’re not alone. Many high earners find themselves in this position—earning a solid income but still unsure how to grow their wealth effectively. That’s exactly why I created TheHenry. This website is designed to help high earners, not rich yet, like you, take control of your finances, save smartly, and invest wisely with tax efficiency in mind.
Whether you want to build a safety net, plan for early retirement, or simply grow your wealth steadily, TheHenry offers clear, practical advice tailored to your unique financial situation.

Who TheHenry Is For
TheHenry is for professionals and workers who have reached a significant income milestone but haven’t yet achieved the financial freedom they desire. You might be a doctor, engineer, tech specialist, or entrepreneur earning over $100,000 annually. Despite your income, you might feel stuck because:
Your expenses seem to grow as fast as your salary.
You’re unsure how to invest without risking too much.
You want to reduce your tax burden legally.
You want to build wealth but don’t know where to start.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. TheHenry focuses on helping you invest smartly and save efficiently so your money works for you.
What You Will Find Here
At TheHenry, I break down complex financial topics into easy-to-understand guides and actionable steps. Here’s what you can expect:
Saving Strategies That Work
Saving money is the foundation of wealth building. But saving isn’t just about putting money aside—it’s about doing it in a way that fits your lifestyle and goals. You’ll find tips on:
Setting realistic savings goals based on your income and expenses.
Automating savings to make it effortless.
Prioritizing emergency funds without sacrificing investment opportunities.
Tax-Efficient Investing
One of the biggest advantages for high earners is using tax-efficient investment strategies. Taxes can take a big bite out of your returns if you’re not careful. I’ll guide you through:
Understanding tax-advantaged accounts like ISA's, Pensions, VCT's, EIS and SEIS.
Using investment vehicles that minimize tax impact.
Timing your investments and withdrawals to reduce taxes.
Smart Investment Choices
Investing can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re balancing risk and reward. TheHenry helps you:
Choose investments that match your risk tolerance and timeline.
Diversify your portfolio to protect against market swings.
Understand the difference between active and passive investing.
Real-Life Examples and Case Studies
Theory is great, but seeing how others have succeeded makes it real. I share stories and examples from people who were once high earners, not rich yet, and how they built their wealth step by step.
Why Focus on High Earners Not Rich Yet?
Being a high earner doesn’t automatically mean you’re wealthy. Many people earn six figures but still live paycheck to paycheck or feel financially insecure. This happens because:
Lifestyle inflation increases spending as income grows.
Lack of clear financial goals leads to scattered efforts.
Missing out on tax-saving opportunities reduces net income.
Fear or confusion about investing slows wealth growth.
TheHenry exists to close this gap. I want to help you move from earning well to building lasting wealth.
How to Get Started
If you’re ready to take control of your financial future, start with these simple steps:
Track your spending for a month to understand where your money goes.
Set clear financial goals—whether it’s saving for a home, retirement, or a side business.
Build an emergency fund that covers at least 3-6 months of expenses.
Explore tax-advantaged accounts available to you and start contributing.
Learn about investing basics and consider starting with low-cost index funds.
Each of these steps will be covered in detail on TheHenry, with practical advice you can apply immediately.

Clear, jargon-free explanations.
Practical advice tailored to your income level.

A supportive community of like-minded earners.
