Inflation hits cash savers. Cash is currency, not a store value.

Durable goods are a form of savings.

There is no nonperishable good.

Most everywhere you're expected to pay taxes for land, hardware gets used up and requires maintenance etc. Resources can get obsolete and lose value that way too.

So this strategy is not long term savings either.
