Inflation is like a balloon that gets bigger when there's more money floating around. Sometimes, it can grow really fast if people start spending all their cash at once or if something important becomes much more expensive. For example, imagine everyone wants to buy candy, and the store runs out of candy, prices go up really quickly. That’s like sudden inflation.
Examples
- Everyone gets a bonus and goes shopping all at once.
- The cost of oil doubles overnight.
