Set aside funds
Saved up describes money or resources accumulated over time for a future purpose.
You save up by setting aside small amounts until you have enough: I saved up for months to buy that guitar.
The phrase emphasizes gradual accumulation rather than a single transaction.
It can extend beyond money to anything stockpiled: She had saved up all her vacation days.
