It’s that time of year again, that pivotal point in March where all we read about in the papers is that we’re in for an unusually wet/unusually dry/unusually average summer and the tax deadline is right around the corner.
OK, so this year really is wetter than most, as I’m sure a number of our readers around the country can attest. All the more reason for the rest of you to think about putting some money away for – forgive me – a rainy day.
Thinking about investing your cash is a year-round task, not something to simply rush into just before the tax deadline on 5 April. A big part of taking an active role in your financial future is understanding the savings options available to you and making a start as soon as you can. And remember, if you don’t get this year’s contribution in before the deadline, it’s gone forever.
That’s why we’ve put together this simplified guide to understanding the first port of call to boost your long-term savings, an ISA.
To read our handy guide to understanding ISAs (individual savings accounts) and for more tips and tricks to make the most of your savings, download the latest edition of FE Investazine here.
