Imagine you have a piggy bank with your allowance money. One day, the candy store raises its prices, even though you're still buying the same amount of candy. That’s like inflation: it feels like your money is worth less because everything costs more.
Examples
- Your allowance stays the same, but the price of your favorite candy goes up.
- Your parents buy fewer groceries because everything costs more.
- You save money for a new video game, only to find out it now costs twice as much.
