Imagine your piggy bank has a special friend called the central bank. When prices go up (that’s inflation), the central bank gets worried and tells banks to charge more for loans, that's interest rates. It's like saying, 'If things are too expensive, people should save more money instead of spending it all.' So inflation and interest rates fight because they're trying to keep your piggy bank happy.
Examples
- Your favorite candy bar went from 20 cents to $1, so the bank says loans will now cost more money.
- The piggy bank gets worried and tells everyone to save instead of spending all their allowance.
- Interest rates go up like a parent telling you to stop buying too many toys.
