Imagine your piggy bank is full, and you're happy buying candy every day. Then, one day, the store says each piece of candy now costs twice as much. That’s like sudden inflation, it feels surprising because everything gets more expensive at once. It happens when something big changes in the economy, like a war or an unexpected shortage of things people need.
Examples
- Your favorite candy now costs twice as much because there was a big fire at the factory that makes it.
- All your clothes suddenly cost more when the store owner had to pay double rent.
