Acronym: High Earner, Not Rich Yet. Those earning $250K - $500K/year and most at risk in the event of non-extension of the Bush tax reductions. Apparently those making more than $500K (the "rich") wouldn't feel the pinch of a return to previous tax brackets. Heard on PBS's The News Hour.

bilby commented on the word HENRY
'Fifteen years ago if you’d told April Little that she’d make $300,000 a year, she would have pictured a life free of financial stress.
“The white picket fence—I have the whole visual in my head,” says Little, 38 years old, a human-resources executive turned career coach in Rochester, N.Y. “I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but when I got to that proverbial mountaintop I realized there’s a lot of expenses. And I still don’t own a home.”
So go the plush-but-not-too-plush lives of the Americans who qualify as HENRY—high earner, not rich yet.'
