Mnemonic
You earn money out on the street, then carry it home under your roof and refuse to let a single coin back out. That's savings — money that crosses the street toward the roof but never makes the return trip. The roof locks it in forever.
Additional thoughts
Picture a one-way door under your roof: money flows in from the street but can never leave. The roof acts like a vault lid sealing your coins inside.Quick recall
Money earned on the street is locked under the roof as savings.Details
