> Inflation is a vector NOT a real number, any asset that people care about has become generally unaffordable i.e: housing, education, healthcare.

Inflation is not the cause of unaffordability in those areas, the cause is limited supply.

However, it would probably mean a complete collapse of the economy during times like these when a central bank can intervene to stabilize things.
