The other side is that inflation rewards the wise and enslaves the foolish.
In the past, homes and land were a good example of this. If your house payments are $1,000 per month, and you are earning $2,000 a month income, half your income goes towards house payment.
Your wages will go up with inflation, as will your house value. When your wages get to $4,000 a month, your house payments will only be one-fourth of your income. In addition, the value of your house will have doubled, because its real value goes up with inflation.
So, the wise person is benefited because of inflation.
