    • So you might be feeling the squeeze of inflation recently. Inflation is when the cost of stuff goes up. And with the cost of things going up, that means the purchasing power of your money is going down. So for example, maybe last week, 100NT bought you 5 apples, but because of inflation, this week you can only buy 3 apples with the 100NT. Even though the amount of money you have is the same, that money buys less because of inflation. So inflation can happen for many different reasons, but one of the things that could cause inflation is high demand, or the cost of materials going up. Word to know, demand, 需求, that is the number of people who want to buy something. So high demand means lots of people want to buy something, and then low demand means not that many people are interested. So generally, some inflation in an economy is normal. But too much inflation can cause a lot of problems for consumers and for society too. And that's the news in 90 seconds.
