Inflation can make people spend money faster.
If people expect prices to keep rising, they have less reason to wait. Why buy something next year if it might cost 10% more?

And when demand rises faster than supply, businesses may raise prices even further.
Expectations can become part of the inflation problem.
A sharp mind is built the same way as a strong back: daily work, no shortcuts. Train it, and you will be the one people turn to when things get hard.

Time and freedom are the things money can’t buy back.
