What is surplus?

Surplus is when you have more of something than you need right now.

Imagine you're at a candy store, and you buy 10 pieces of candy, but you only plan to eat 5 today. The extra 5 pieces are your surplus. They’re like little helpers waiting in your pocket for when you want more candy later.

Think about your toy box. If you get a new bag of toys and already have some similar ones, the new ones might be your surplus. You don’t need them all at once, you can save them for another day or give them to a friend.

Surplus is like having extra cookies in the jar when you only baked enough for one snack time. It’s not magic, it's just having more than you need right now, and that’s totally normal!
