How does inflation affect the average person's savings?

Inflation is like when your favorite candy bar suddenly costs more money, and it keeps getting more expensive every week.

Savings are the money you put away for later, like in a piggy bank or under your bed. When inflation happens, the value of that money goes down because things cost more. It's as if your piggy bank was slowly losing some of its coins to a sneaky little monster called price increases.
