How Does Consumers feel impact of inflation Work?

Imagine you have a piggy bank full of cookies, that’s your money. Now, every time you go to the store, you use some cookies to buy toys or candy. But one day, you notice something: the same toy now costs two cookies instead of just one. That means prices went up, and that's called inflation.

When inflation happens, it’s like your piggy bank is getting lighter faster than before. You still have the same number of cookies, but each one doesn’t go as far because things cost more now.

Let’s say you used to buy 10 candies for 5 cookies, that was easy. But with inflation, now those 10 candies cost 7 cookies. That means you can’t buy as many candies with the same number of cookies, and that feels like your money is working less hard than before.

If prices keep going up, people might start saving more or buying fewer toys, just like how you might decide to save some cookies for later so you don’t run out too fast. That’s how consumers feel the impact of inflation: it changes how much they can buy with their money, and that affects what they choose to spend on.
