Imagine your piggy bank is like a currency. If it always has the same number of coins, it's stable, but if it suddenly loses half its coins or gains extra ones without warning, that’s volatility. A stable currency means prices stay predictable, while a volatile currency can make things expensive one day and cheap the next.
Examples
- Stable currencies are like calm seas, you can plan your trip without worrying about sudden waves.
- When the value of your currency drops fast, things get more expensive quickly, that's volatility.
