no savings
Nothing put away
No savings describes the condition of having no money set aside for future use.
It characterizes someone living paycheck to paycheck without a financial cushion: Most Americans have no savings to cover an emergency.
The phrase often appears in discussions of economic precarity and retirement readiness.
