9. Questions: Calculating inflation over the past 60 years helps us to see how prices have increased on the items we need the most. Why is it important that people get raises? The amount that get paid has to increase with the items as well. If you get a 2% raise every year, will you be able to keep up with inflation? Why or why not? Yes we will because even though its just 2% we will be able to buy items that have also increased.

10. Conclusion: What I have learned Over the past 60 years time value of money have increased on things we use on our daily bases. Some items that we barley use, for example the snowboard stays the same price. It is also important for us to notice that the value of money tends to lose its value due to inflation.
