Inflation is like when everything in the store gets more expensive, not just once, but over time. Imagine your favorite candy used to cost $1, and now it costs $2. That’s inflation! It means you need more money to buy the same things you used to buy with less. Over time, even small increases can add up and change how much people earn or spend.
Examples
- Your $1 candy now costs $2 because of inflation.
- You used to buy a pizza for $5, but now it’s $7.
- Your allowance is the same, but you can’t buy as many toys.
