A lot of people assume that they need a complicated math problem in order to solve inflation. Things do not work out that way.

There are some things that you can do to measure inflation without having to feel that everything is complicated:

• Get to know the Consumer Price Index or CPI. The higher the prices of the items that are being sold in stores, the higher the inflation rate.

• Another thing that should be considered is the PCE or Personal Consumption Expenditure. This talks about how different consumers spend on the items that they need to purchase.

• If people would like to know more about what consumers spend on minus some of the necessities like food, knowing the Core PCE will also help.

Solving for inflation does not have to be too hard. The inflation rate can change from time to time, but the economy will have a lot of influence.
