I don't recall hearing this acronym--today's word from
Word Spy--before, but it sounds like something that might appear in a SyndieBAM question:
HENRY
n. A person with a substantial income, but little wealth. [From the phrase High Earner, Not Rich Yet.]

I'm glad y'all are enjoying this thread!
Of course, I don't need an acronym.
Miser is just a word.

You could add the modifier "accumulating" to make it SIFTLOAD
Actually, I can't complain. My only debts are my mortgage, my car payment, and my student loans.
Well, I guess I
can complain.

I'd laugh, except that I might cry afterwards.
The last word might also be "Ever."
