What are higher prices?

Higher prices are when things you want to buy cost more money than they used to.

Imagine you have a favorite candy that usually costs 10 coins. One day, you go to the store, and it now costs 15 coins. That’s what we call higher prices, the same thing you love now takes more money to get.

Sometimes, when people who make or sell things have to pay more for what they use, they pass that cost on to you. It's like if your favorite ice cream truck driver had to buy ice cream for more coins, so he decides to charge you a bit more too.

If prices go up, you might need to bring more money with you when you go shopping. Or maybe you’ll choose to buy something else that costs less. It's like having a bigger piggy bank, you just have to save a little more coins each time you want your favorite treat!
