Inflation
In economics, inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. There is short-run inflation and long-run inflation and these van be identified if certain events occur or do not occur. When there is inflation the the prices of goods and services go up and in some cases can sky rocket above all else as it never ceases to ruin thousands, millions, and/or billions of peoples life's. The good thing about it is that thus far it has never remained to that point indefinitely otherwise everyone would go with it. (Through the roof.) Even though inflation seems pretty bad so far it does have it's good points. Sometimes it good to get a little high with the prices for a short time as it helps balance things out in the long run. So what if your not the type of person who doesn't think it should fluctuate (what-so-ever) but it is something necessary from time to time especially when it is predictable. When the economy inflates slightly , the costs will go up, so hopefully your wages will go up as well, and if that happens your still paying the same price for the goods and services just with an altered number. Prices are a creation of the human mind placed there to fill the void which was aroused by the constant questions of 'How much should this be?' and 'How much should that cost?'. Price and money are both false creations to fill in the gaps known as wants and needs.
