I'm a student in China and I read this in my textbook.

The whole sentence is "I have already put away some savings since I made a budget.":

I have already put away some savings since I made a budget.

In my opinion, you can only "put away a hundred dollars""put away a hundred dollars" or "put away some money""put away some money" and the money you put away will turn into your savings. Thus I think there's a mistake in my textbook. But since I'm not a native speaker, I want to know whether native speakers will use this phrase.
