Inflation is like a balloon that keeps getting bigger. When prices go up, it means your money doesn't stretch as far, just like when a balloon takes more air to fill up. Inflation rates tell us how fast this happens, and if the balloon grows too quickly, it can cause problems for everyone.
Examples
- If the price of bread goes up every year, it means inflation is happening.
- Your parents might need more money each month because everything is getting more expensive.
