I don't have any money, but (unlike some) I'm not trying to take it from others. Like means-testing for Social Security benefits. Many people that saved will not get there their benefits, while people that did not save with get theirs and more.
Inflation has not had a significant effect on me personally, ad I doubt it will. The "crashing markets" while painful to watch, have had little impact yet, but absolutely could.
