    Eh? As this thread shows, ISAs are a very competitive market. There's no such thing as "ripped off" where 100+ institutions are competing for your savings, unless you choose to invest at something which isn't a competitive rate.

    Probably something at above RPI where you're not actually losing money in real terms due to the printing of more and more money by HMG.

    One thing I don't get though is all this printing of money, where does it end up cause it certainly does not end up in my pocket ;)

    That's why inflation isn't as high as was predicted by some when QE was first launched.
    Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.
    It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
    Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

    Clearly you didn't explain it properly. It must have got lost in your rant somewhere.

    Santander have just launched a new Easy ISA paying a competitive 0.5% on balances of £40k+

    Balances up to £27k earn a great rate of 0.1%
