Our Mission
Inflation is a major problem that people tend to ignore or don't know about. Our mission is to enlighten people about inflation and create an app with information on stock to help people make money even with inflation being extremely high.
Our Story
My name is Jiaxin Lin, and Nathaniel Babayev is my companion. The purpose of our project, which Nathaniel and I devised, is to attempt to minimize inflation and educate people about economics. Both of our opinions are based on the same concept, although they diverge from time to time due to our differing inflation experiences. In Nathaniel's instance, his parents began to make less and less money, causing them to be unable to afford many of the items they had previously purchased. My family, on the other hand, had to take on more jobs and forego several purchases due to a lack of funds. At the time, Nathaniel and I were both really eager, and we are still driven, to teach people about these things and even how to overcome inflation. We hope that everyone who has been affected by these events also helps others and that this can benefit the economy right now or in the future.
Ghost School
To the right of this text there are 2 pictures of Ghost School to find the difference. We incorporated Ghost schools' final project to our website because the little mini-game helps people see some of the items that have been inflated over the years. For example, the difference between the two pictures are the appearance of the chicken, apple, and computer. All of these items have been inflated throughout the years, like chicken raising from 1.79 per pound in 1997 to 3.21 per pound to current day. Chicken was almost 2 times cheaper than today! Think about how much more chicken people could’ve bought! Apple has also risen from 1.31 per pound in 1997 to a whooping 64 dollars per pound in 2022! THAT IS ALMOST 49 TIMES MORE! Computers also have faced a dramatic change in price from around 4000 in 1997 to around 900 in 2022. This data shows the good and bad of inflation since we the human race is moving at such a speed in the development of technology, making computers and other tech items have gotten cheaper but not necessities that are required to survive.
