  • Abstract:
  • This research paper examines the growing impact of inflation on the cost of living among middle-class families in India. The study focuses on understanding the changes in consumption patterns, savings behavior, and financial coping strategies used by households in response to rising prices of essential goods and services. Primary data was collected from 50 middle-class families through a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that inflation has significantly increased household expenditure and reduced the overall savings rate. The study concludes with suggestions to improve price control mechanisms and financial literacy.
