Nearly 60 and I still don’t “get” inflation. Can anyone explain? Thank you.

    I appreciate the reply, but with respect it just explains what happens, not why 25c doesn’t have the same value now as it did 60 years ago, or 100 years ago.

      You didn’t ask why. With all due respect. You said you didn’t get it. Maybe next time be more descriptive of what you’re looking for.
