Except for allowing prices to rise incrementally yet again.

I've had this discussion more than once with fixed income people.

That $200 set of tires (10 hours of work @ $20/hr) put into the retirement account 20+ years ago.
That set costs $1000 now.
The question is whether real return on the $200 in 20 years was 500%.
If your income rises by half and prices double, that's a 25% pay cut. The income is impressive, but what you can do with it is depressing.
