Inflation is like the price of your favorite candy going up every week. Sometimes it’s easy to guess how much it’ll cost next week, but sometimes it jumps a lot and surprises you. That’s what happens with inflation rates, they go up in ways we don’t always expect.
Examples
- You thought your favorite video game would be $60, but it suddenly became $70.
- A loaf of bread used to cost 89 cents, and now it costs a dollar.
