If you have debt, and if your ability to earn at least matches inflation, then inflation actually helps your situation. Not a ton of people are in that boat right now, but eventually wages will go up.
Also, not all prices go up evenly, so unfortunately needed goods like groceries, fuel, and housing are some of the biggest drivers of increased costs.
