Original caption

HENRY - high earner, not rich yet. being a high earner is not the same as wealthy. In London - a six figure salary no longer buys a life of luxury. it creates a middle-class squeeze, driven by high tax, high fixed living costs etc. you also begin to lose your personal allowance once your income crosses £100,000! #fyp #tax #PersonalFinance #Budgeting #revishaan
