It’s becoming really annoying.

    I understand why it happens

    Why does it?

    I never understood why inflation was a good thing

    It isn’t, that’s a narrative told by politicians, and economists who are primarily paid by the government.

      Why does it?

      It basically happens when people buy money. When you get 100,000 € but pay 120,000 € back you added 20,000 € to the overall system which makes everything become slightly more expensive to account for the additional money available.

        So you already don’t follow the mainstream economic narrative that consumer prices track inflation, good for you!
