    Damn, while I made the meme it wondered why it was “savings”, because I was sure it is. Since English isn’t my first language I concluded there must be some arcane reason for it.

    Thanks for clarifying

      To be fair, it’s an exceptionally common mistake. Even native speakers get it wrong a lot of the time. I think it’s because most people do think it’s referencing something similar to a “savings account”.
