Who is his friend A.L.I.C.E.?

What are some signs that you might be dealing with a H.E.N.R.Y.?

In 2003, Shawn Tully wrote an article for Fortune Magazine introducing us to H.E.N.R.Y. - High Earner Not Rich Yet.  This is someone who makes between $250,000 and $500,000 per year, but because of taxes, housing and family costs, basically lives paycheck to paycheck.
