I don't know why people would downvote you. I came here to complain about the same thing.

The actual problem is the shitty as usual reporting from faux news. The article never defines "cash savings" and provides no link to the referenced study. It's lazy slop.

PSA: Y'all, please don't post faux news ever. Find a better source or the original source. Thanks!

They are getting downvoted because other commenters here who have actually read the article have found and quoted the definition of cash, which includes savings.

As it pretty much always does in any financial reporting has in the past 50 years. This same story keeps getting re-reported on every 5 years and the conversations around it are always the same.
