Inflation is not only eating away at the spending power of your daily dollar but also hammering your investments in the stock market. The temptation may be there to sell off and get out, but there's another way to wait out this downturn.
You can help blunt the effects of inflation with dividend-paying stocks. Along with the passive income they generate, they tend to hold up better in inflationary environments.
And you can go one step further by focusing on Dividend Aristocrats -- that group of S&P 500 companies that have raised their dividends for at least 25 years in a row. Here are 12 companies to consider from that exclusive club of 66 stocks.
