Mr. Divers will be affected bey th unatnticpated inflation causng his retirement account to be worth less in the future than before inflation. Due to inflation, the prices of goods and services rise causing his money to be spent in a shorter time period on less items then it would have if it were spent without any type of inflation issues.
