The sad case of Laura Lupin

This little story feels so bizarre I’m prepared to admit that it may be fake news…

Laura recently posted her contribution to The Times newspaper on the X website .
It reads as follows.
I earned more than £120,000 as an accountant my husband earns less £95,000. We are a high income household but only on paper we’re basically your typical Henry couple it stands for high earners, not rich yet and it’s a term now used by financial institutions to describe people with usually six figure salaries but crucially not much accumulated. The banks aren’t looking to court us for our accounts, so far from flush, my husband goes into his savings each month to survive. Well, I don’t have any money left over in my account at the end of the month.
