Because prices of goods will rise. Even though you personally might face more economic opportunities (so maybe inflation won't bother you), the cost of goods will definitely climb.

Who wrote that silly wikipedia article? Inflation is the increase of the money supply. Rise of prices is a symptom of it.

Inflation describes a phenomenon. Increasing the money supply is a monetary policy that causes inflation. https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Inflation.html
