I’m a big fan of Unnecessary Inventions.
Matty spends his days making exactly that: unnecessary inventions—tools and machines that you don’t need, but they’re hilarious and immensely creative.
With all the talk and concern around rising inflation rates, I took a leaf out of Matty’s book and created the ’Tooth Fairy Inflation Calculator’. Here’s my pitch!
“Are you a parent? Are your kid’s teeth falling out? With inflation rates rising, how do you know what amount to put under their pillow?
Don’t let your kid fleece you! Get rid of the guess work, and use this Tooth Fairy Inflation Calculator today!
Simply pick your country, input the year you got money from the tooth fairy, and type in how much you received. The calculator will automatically tell you the inflation-adjusted amount you should be giving your kid.
Don’t spoil your kid. Instead, give them what you got, but adjust it.”
It’s a very basic hack I threw together in 30 mins. But I had fun finding the data set and exploring the different variables and scenarios! Let me know your thoughts, and share it with others if you like it!
