Not really, inflation and taxes is always likely to cause their principle to take a bigger hit than the interest they receive can offset anyone with investments in fixed dollar amounts should not see inflation as their friend.


The people with the least concern of inflation are the ones with investments where the revenue rises with inflation, and the capital value of the assets goes up with inflation.


even then the capital value increase will cause a tax hit, due to the capital gains tax taxing the rise in value caused by inflation, but atleast that is discounted by 50% if it’s a long term investment, which makes it much better than a cash investment threat stays the same.
