Even with a large number of savings, they can easily depreciate in the event of a collapse of the bank and the financial system. As you know, this happens repeatedly with a certain degree of cyclicality.
Therefore, it is quite dangerous to keep money in assets that are not secured by anything. In addition, banks can print money as much as they want, thereby depreciating these pieces of paper.

I like how people enjoy something backed by something else, once upon a time, dollar is backed by gold, then dollar is backed by hope, then delusional hope is backed by another delusional trust, an illusion that backed by another illusion, and that would make a pretty safe haven? Because do the wrong twice would make it right? Go beyond to the right and you will end up on the left side?

Banks loan out the money that they got from deposits and charge interests. That's how most of them make money. They do not create money out of thin air, but they do create money by using the trust people have given them, which is kinda smart (and nefarious, lol) if you ask me.
It is actually the governments who can create money out of thin air and faster than Usain Bolt. Certain financial policies aid them in doing such, though of course certain conditions should be met before they start printing out money. We all know what happens if a country decides to overprint its money, take for example Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Their currencies are affected by hyperinflation due to continuous printing of money which turned out to be really detrimental to their economic growth.
I get your sentiment but it is what it is.

Keep believing what they want you to know, so they feed into your mindset that money don’t come from thin air?

It's the government of a country which determines whether to make money out of thin air or not and to control the money flow inside the country. Banks will be filled with money when there's more money on people's hands and that is governed by the economic policy of the government. So, basically in my opinion, banks do not make money out of thin air, but the governments do...

TBH now bank own too much money in their coffers, I don’t know you want to believe it, they practically control the entire nation’s wealth.

Money, "paper money", is a representation of how well your government is able to fulfill its obligations that every currency you print has an equal value in terms of GDP and has a guarantee.
Many countries flounder in monetary policy, so considering the protective money of these countries on the basis that they are assets is a matter of value.
As for saving, as you enter the mouse race, you must develop your skills in order to save more money. Inflation is difficult to balance, but does not change its essence.

I know the good metrics of wealth using GDP, but can you have any saving with high GDP as of now?
