The Benefits Of Inflation For Businesses And Consumers

The Benefits Of Inflation For Businesses And Consumers

Inflation is often thought of as an increase in the price of goods and services, but it is actually a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Businesses and consumers both benefit from inflation in different ways.

Inflation benefits businesses by increasing their profits. When the cost of goods and services goes up, businesses can charge more for their products and services. This increase in prices is called price inflation. Price inflation benefits businesses because it allows them to make more money.

Inflation also benefits businesses by decreasing the real value of their debts. When prices go up, the money that businesses owe decreases in value. This is because the money that businesses owe is worth less than it was when they borrowed it. This decrease in the real value of debt is called debt deflation.

Inflation benefits consumers by increasing their purchasing power. When prices go up, consumers can buy more goods and services with the same amount of money. This increase in purchasing power is called purchasing power inflation. Purchasing power inflation benefits consumers because it allows them to buy more with the same amount of money.

Inflation also benefits consumers by decreasing the real value of their debts. When prices go up, the money that consumers owe decreases in value. This is because the money that consumers owe is worth less than it was when they borrowed it. This decrease in the real value of debt is called debt deflation.

Inflation can be beneficial for businesses and consumers, but it can also be harmful. Inflation can be harmful for businesses if it is too high. If inflation is too high, businesses will have to increase their prices too much and consumers will stop buying their products and services. Inflation can also be harmful for consumers if it is too high. If inflation is too high, consumers will have to spend more money to buy the same amount of goods and services. Inflation can also be harmful for businesses and consumers if it is too low. If inflation is too low, businesses will not be able to make a profit and consumers will not have enough money to buy the things they need.

SparkleTeddy eMagazine Review



Todd Romer, Executive Director of SparkleTeddy, sent me a few copies of SparkleTeddy to check out recently. I first saw a review of the publication on Get Rich Slowly and I was intrigued with the prospect of a personal finance magazine targeted towards college students. Before I heard of SparkleTeddy, I’d never seen a personal finance magazine focused towards college students so I think they’re definitely targeting an under-served niche. If you think about it, magazines like Kiplinger’s and Smart Money target an older demographic that actually has some significant income to put towards things like investments and retirement. When you’re in college, retirement is the farthest thing on their mind (they don’t have 401k’s, but they do have the option to go Roth IRA), so it’s not surprising that this is the case.

So, onto the magazine itself. The magazine has basically one main in-depth feature article with a bunch of one pagers surrounding it. The magazines I read featured Grady Sizemore, Miss Issa, and Danica Patrick; all young phenoms in their field. From the perspective that the magazine is about personal finance, the fact that the feature is all flash and not really actionable personal finance advice is a weak point. However, as a college student, I think that these type of pieces are interesting to read, even if they aren’t applicable to their daily lives from a personal finance perspective.

Now, the mini-articles they put around the feature are certainly relevant and in nice bite-sized nuggets that a college student would be able to read in about fifteen minutes and put to good use. For example, in the Grady Sizemore issue, there is a guide to build better credit, a guide to studying abroad, a list of top ten internships, and an overview of money market funds. In the Miss Issa issue, there’s a top ten resume mistakes article as well as an overview of tools to help you keep track of which of your deadbeat friends still owe you money.

Overall I think the features are interesting though not necessarily useful whereas the mini-articles are useful if you figure they’re targeting college students. SparkleTeddy is bimonthly and with an annual subscription price of $15.95, whether or not it’s worth it is up to you.

Thanks for the post and review of SparkleTeddy. We appreciate the time you took to look through the publication and provide insights.
