Inflation is when things get more expensive over time, like your favorite candy that used to cost $1 now costs $2. Sometimes it feels random because people don’t always notice the small price changes until they add up, like going from a $3 movie ticket to a $5 one. It's kind of like how your height slowly grows, but you only realize it when you’ve grown a whole inch!
Examples
- A candy bar that used to cost $1 now costs $2.
- Movie tickets go from $3 to $5 in a year.
- Your lunch at school becomes twice as expensive.
