If you keep your job and don't lose the house before your income increases to match hyperinflation, yes.
Most people will find themselves unemployed or making monthly enough to buy a chocolate bar for a while.
Has your income been keeping up with inflation the past few years? You think it will keep up with hyperinflation?
Your mortgage is $1,000 a month and you earn $3,000 a month. When hyperinflation occurs, you owe $1,000 a month, food costs $4,000 a month, and you still earn $3,000 a month. Are you certain you won't be in that position?
Pretty sure minimum wage has been beating inflation for a while in the UK. Hyperinflation was a bit of an extreme example and hopefully won't happen of course.
