This will be offset by higher outgoings.
Older people are more concerned with the increased cost of maintaining their quality of life over a small increase in cash savings (any large amounts of assets will likely be in shares and property rather than cash so not relevant to an increase in interest rates)
Those people are also happy with higher interest rates as they are often cash rich and benefit from higher savings rates
