Inflation

I don't believe it...I'm being paid 2.23% gross AER on my savings in a cash ISA - the best rate I could get for any easy access account, but the rate of inflation is 3.2%. So although my money is earning interest on a monthly basis, it is actually losing value because the AER is less than the rate of inflation.

Bloody banks!
Total in ISAs = £8,863.50
