Imagine you and your friend are both saving up for a new toy. But your friend lives in a place where everything costs more every year, that’s like having inflation. Some places have higher prices growing faster than others, so their inflation rates look different. It's like one kid gets a bigger allowance increase than the other.
Examples
- In one town, the price of bread goes up a lot each year; in another, it barely changes.
- A country where people print lots of money sees prices rise faster than others.
- One city's bus fare doubles every few years, while another’s only increases slightly.
