I think you've maybe confused being almost 60 with being an idiot.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I understand more about the mechanics now. Made me hate capitalism a bit more than I already do, but I guess someone was right when they said a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

The joys of the internet. My "respect" comment was genuine.

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.

 

Nearly 60 and I still don't "get" inflation. Can anyone explain? Thank you.
