Explain

Explains the topic for any audience, from a five-year-old to an expert Example Inflation means things in stores slowly get more expensive. If a toy costs 1 coin today, and later it costs 2 coins, your coins can buy less than before. That is called losing buying power. Buying power means how much you can buy with your money. It is a little like when your snack bag has fewer crackers inside, but the bag looks the same. You get less than before.
