I always wonder why the advertising blitz comes at the end of the Financial Year. Surely if you have the odd pound or two to save it would be better to squirrel it away asap instead of waiting until the last minute.

You get an allowance each year to put money in. It closes on 4th april each year. If you dont get your money in you cant back date it.
Some people have now got ISA's with a total of 50k etc in them.
