However, inflation isnât about rising prices; itâs about an expanding money supply. Higher prices are a consequence of inflation, not inflation itself.

Inflation hurts your buying power. That's because rising prices mean you have to pay more for the same goods and services. Inflation can help you if you are the lucky recipient of income inflation. You can also benefit from asset inflation, such as in housing or stocks, if you own that asset before the price rises.
