Cash ISAs have been a popular go-to for consumers looking to take advantage of their tax-free allowance, but over the years these deals have dwindled in both number and the returns offered.
The average return on cash ISAs over the past year was just 0.93%, the lowest seen on moneyfacts.co.uk records. In contrast, the average stocks and shares ISA returned growth of 11.75%*.

Start the New Year Fresh by Consolidating Debts / Personal_Finance / Debt & Loans
A brand-new year provides the perfect opportunity to revisit finances and work out how much money is being wasted by incurring interest on costly credit cards.

2007 All Over Again, Borrowers Start Scamming Desperate Lenders / Personal_Finance / Global Debt Crisis 2018
