Bubble (economics)

Imagine you have a big jar of bubbles. When you blow air into the jar, the bubbles get bigger and bigger until they become very large and start to overflow out of the jar.

Now, imagine the jar is the economy and the bubbles are prices of things like houses or stocks. When people start buying houses or stocks, the prices start to go up like the bubbles in the jar. Eventually, prices become so high that they can't go up anymore and they start to fall, just like the bubbles in the jar that overflow and pop.

This is called a bubble. It happens when people keep buying and buying something too fast and it gets too expensive, causing it to eventually crash down. It's important to be careful with bubbles because they can hurt people's money and the economy.
