Can you expand the acronym HENRYs? Urban dictionary didn't come up with anything for me.

  "High earners, not rich yet (HENRYs) are individuals who currently have significant discretionary income and a strong chance of being wealthy in the future." The previous (somewhat derogatory) term was "Yuppie" ("young urban professional" or "young, upwardly-mobile professional") [1].

    I always liked DINK: Double income, no kids.

      Well, when two HENRYs love each other very much, they do frequent move in together to become DINKs. ;) More seriously, DINK seems to be approximately the plural of HENRY in this context.

        Except, I think that HENRY implies that they are not willing to adjust their extravagant lifestyle in order to become rich.

    As I understand it, HENRY is a term of art in marketing while yuppie is more colloquial.
