Inflation is when prices go up, like your favorite candy getting more expensive every year. But sometimes prices jump even faster than people thought they would, that’s called surprising inflation. It’s like when you think you’ll get one extra cookie at the store, but then you find out it was two extra cookies all along!
Examples
- Your favorite candy costs $1 now, but suddenly it costs $2 next month, even though you expected only a small increase.
