Default Save Up The Money
Dear friends and Teachers,

A. You should take everyone's advice, get a job, save up the money. And buy that convertible yourself.

- Why don't we say "save the money" instead of "save up the money"?

Thanks a million!

You can say "save the money". It's just a style issue.
