- Inflation: A sustained rise in the general price level of goods and services, which reduces the purchasing power of money.
- Interest: The cost of borrowing money or the return earned on lent or invested funds, typically expressed as a percentage of the principal per period (the interest rate).
- Demographics: Statistical characteristics of a population—such as age, gender, income, education, race, and household composition—used to analyze and compare groups.
- Culture: The shared beliefs, values, norms, practices, symbols, and behaviors of a social group that shape how its members live and interact.
