Rich people are literally just lying about being good at money btw
Things like overdraft fees, late fees, parking tickets, fines, subscription renewals, legal fees, penalty fees, sales and discounts, lawsuits - these are things that all cease to matter in any material way once you have enough money
To Jeff Bezos, a parking meter, a plane ticket, and a private jet all effectively cost the same amount of money: none

Money in your savings account is something everyone should have.
The fact that not everyone has money and a savings account is the result of violence, deprivation, and the deliberate decisions made by the less than 100 people who own half of the world's money
Millions in a secret savings account in the Cayman Islands, though? That's a very different story.
