Boomers / GenX can simply buy TIPS / I-Bonds if they're worried about inflation though.
Honestly, given how much they're invested into the stock market, raising interest rates will hurt their 401k / retirement accounts the most. Its not like the stock market or bond-market likes it when rates go up.
The job of an investor is to navigate these waters as the tides of the economy rise and fall. If you're in the wrong spot at the wrong time, you can lose everything. Alternatively, you keep your wealth spread out in a large basket of different goods: Stocks, Bonds (including I-bonds/TIPS), Cash, Real Estate, and hope for the best.
