In practice, many of the people who have money in banks are the old. Having built up savings during their working life, they often put their money into bonds to ensure income during old age. These people lose out when there is unexpected inflation and the real value of the bonds falls. They also lose out if they are keeping what they have in non-interest-bearing accounts or under the bed.

The young, and especially those just entering middle age, often take out a large mortgage to move onto a large house and bring up a family. Having borrowed a fixed sum to buy a house, they profit when unexpected inflation increase house prices and income without a corresponding increase in the sum they must repay to the bank or building society.

Unexpected inflation redistributes from the old to the young. With technical progress and productivity increase, each generation is likely to have a higher living standard than the previous generation. Further redistribution from the old to the young increases the inequality between generations.
