![(Above) Valentina Lasa and Layla McCord, both grade 9, have bought more expensive items. Valentina said she, “Bought Coldplay tickets this summer” to see them in concert this past July. She bought her ticket for about $300, but if she had made the purchase in 2011, it would be equivalent to around $431. In 2011, she could have bought a designer purse from stores like Coach or Kate Spade. On the other hand, Layla decided to spend her money on, “New brakes for [her motocross] bike because [her brakes] kept on bending after wrecks.” She was also born in 2011, and her brakes cost about $300. In 2011, it would have also been equal to $431, and that money could be used to purchase a tablet or a phone during that time.](https://twicetoldtale.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2-15.jpg)
