Understanding Buying Power

Buying power (or purchasing power) measures how much goods and services your money can buy. Inflation reduces buying power over time, meaning the same amount of money will buy fewer goods in the future than it does today.

Key Concepts

  • Inflation: The general increase in prices over time
  • Real Value: The value adjusted for inflation
  • Nominal Value: The face value without inflation adjustment
  • Purchasing Power Parity: Comparing costs across different time periods
