Question

Transcribed Image Text:ANALYZE: Understanding Inflation
Saving money in a bank account that earns less in interest (ex: 0.75%) than the economy experiences inflation (avg: 3%)
leaving you with less spending power in the future. If you save $500 in a savings account now, you'll be able to buy LESS
with it in 2025 than you could today. That's what makes INVESTING an important part of your long-term financial health.
Let's explore inflation a little further using this Inflation Calculator.
Suppose you're heading off to college next year somewhere cold,
and you want to purchase a North Face parka for $350.
1. From each paycheck of your afterschool job, you're able to save $45 toward the coat. You get paid twice a
month. How many months will it take you to save enough money to buy your North Face jacket?
