Inflation is when things get more expensive over time, like your favorite candy. Sometimes, inflation goes wild because too much money gets printed or spent at once. It's like everyone suddenly wants to buy the same candy, but there aren't enough left for everyone. So prices jump a lot and stay high for a while.
Examples
- Your favorite candy suddenly costs ten times more, everyone wants it at once.
- A pizza that used to cost $10 now costs $20 in just a few months.
- Your parents say they can't afford groceries anymore because everything got too expensive.
