Inflation is like a pizza party where everyone wants more slices, but there’s only so much pizza to go around. If lots of people are spending money at the same time, stores might raise prices because they know they can sell things for more. That means your dollar buys less than it used to, and that’s inflation.
Examples
- Imagine everyone in your town wants to buy the same toy at the same time, the store might increase the price.
