Excellent or awful - why Lifetime ISAs divide opinion
Lifetime ISAs (LISAs) are supposed to help people save for homes or retirement, but they’ve sparked heated debates. A new report from MPs calls for reforms, echoing frustrations from savers who’ve faced penalties or found the rules too restrictive. Some love the government bonus, while others feel trapped by the fine print.
Editor’s Note: LISAs were designed to give young people a leg up, but the reality isn’t so simple. If you’ve used one, you might relate to the complaints—like losing money if you withdraw for the wrong reason. This isn’t just bureaucratic nitpicking; it’s about whether a well-intentioned policy actually works for the people it’s meant to help.

PositiveFinancial Markets
If you're eyeing an electric vehicle but balking at the high price tags of new models, the used market might be your sweet spot. Sales of pre-owned EVs just crossed 100,000 in a single quarter—a record—as buyers take advantage of lower prices and dwindling federal incentives for new electric cars.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about scoring a cheaper ride—it’s a sign of how the EV market is maturing. With new models still pricey and tax credits drying up, used EVs are becoming a practical gateway for more drivers to go electric. That’s good news for adoption, even if automakers might be sweating sluggish demand for their latest models.
