Anything else that you own that rises with inflation is going up, but the debt's not.

So your wages are going up with inflation.

People often don't think of it that way, but it's happening.

Another little side note, there's this cute little research piece that looked at how people view inflation.

And when it comes to wages, they see it not being driven by inflation, but only their hard work.

the prices of everything else is purely inflation.

The raising of your wages, though, has nothing to do with inflation at all.

It's just you and your hard work is what's making you feel us.

It's like they just don't always appreciate the connection between all of them.

And so when we look at retirees versus other cohorts, let's think about that.

So retirees often have more fixed income.

They don't want to hold less in equities because they want to take on less risk, which means they're not getting some of the gains that equities

appreciate during inflation.

They also often have less debt to pay off their house.

They don't have these fixed mortgage payments that are declining relative to everything else.

They don't have wages, which is like the primary source of income for workers and those who aren't retired, and that's going up.

So they have all these things that are actually making inflation pretty painful relatively compared to other cohorts.

Less equity, no wage, less debt.

It sounds like a good thing, but it can be, in terms of your net gains in an inflationary period, you lose that effect

And then they have a lot of fixed income, which doesn't go up with inflation, actually decreases their value as well.
