Quick question: are prices actually higher, or does it just feel that way. Turns out our brains keep a mental price tag from years ago, then hit us with the full gap all at once instead of the slow climb. We also remember the hikes way better than the things that stayed the same price. That combo is basically why "everything is going up" can feel true even when it's not the whole story. But try telling that to my wallet 🤷‍♀️ #MoneyPsychology #InflationExplained #PersonalFinance #FinancialLiteracy #MoneyMindset
