The relationship between standard of living and cost of living is that the higher the standard of living, the more expensive it will cost individuals to maintain, or even measure up to the standard.

An imbalance in the relationship between supply and demand causes inflation. Prices rise as increasing numbers of people compete to buy a limited number of goods. Periods of inflation are common in functioning free market economies. However, inflation can have a profound effect on your standard of living.
