salted away
Put aside safely
Salted away means saved or stored for future use, especially money: She had salted away enough to retire early.
The image comes from preserving food with salt—setting something aside now so it's available later.
The phrase often implies secrecy or gradual accumulation: He'd been salting away cash for years.
