The rich can adapt to inflation by just cutting down luxury spending, but the poor can't adjust, because they have to spend on essentials.
But they won’t. You’ll see the rich just complain but they’ll be fine. They’ll still live and they’ll still be richer because they have assets that would continue to grow in profit. They have businesses, they have salaries. Unlike for the poor, even if they try to cut down on expenses it still won’t be enough.
Why say won't and then say they will be fine? Or maybe you are referring on the poor on your first sentence? Poor can surely have a difficult time but they can also adapt on it soon. Apart from it, they will also try their best on budgeting more and then maybe they will add other ways to earn an income.
I think inflation hikes are not permanent either, plus they might also be getting a help from the government or someone. As they say 'if there is a will, there is a way'. Rich on the other hand are rich, so they won't even complain.
@CTO114, I don't think so that they will cut down any of their means. Rich are known to be 'OA or classy' though. It was actually the poor in fact is the ones that can adjust. Poor are not picky you know.
