I'm going to keep saying this until you do it - put your money in equities ISAs!

Jasmine
I feel like a cracked record but I'm going to keep saying this until you crack and take the plunge with stocks and shares ISAs.

Seriously, you are muuuuch better off, long-term, putting your money into stocks and shares (equity) ISAs than you are with cash ISAs. 

So why aren't you doing this?

 

Win £500 Argos vouchers

Argos
How would you spend £500 at Argos?

A new laptop, gym equipment, toys for the kids or maybe you'd like a summer house for the garden.

Whatever it is, Argos has the lot so go on and enter - you could soon be filling in that little blue slip in an Argos near you.
