Which ISA is best?

This is because over the long term the gains and dividends can exponentially grow your wealth.However, Lifetime ISAs (specifically Cash LISAs) are a fantastic vehicle to save for your first house deposit. And Cash ISAs can be useful in some specific scenarios, like if you will breach your personal savings allowance and have to be some tax on your savings interest.Listen to the episode for the full details.Timestamps:0:34 - What is an ISA?3:46 - Cash ISA5:58 - Stocks & Shares ISA7:37 - Innovative Finance ISA8:26 - Lifetime ISA13:06 - Why I don’t like S&S LISAs17:19 - Which ISA to prioritise in specific situations?20:25 - ISA allowance21:21 - Which ISA is best-----------------------------------------More investing:📝 Download my free investing guide to help you start investing - https://www.makingmoneysimple.co.uk/Free-Investing-Guide📕 Get my book Stop Waiting, Start Investing (available as a physical, digital and audiobook) - https://www.makingmoneysimple.co.uk/swsi-book-----------------------------------------⚠️ Disclaimers: I am not a financial advisor and this does not represent financial advice, it is for entertainment purposes only.
