My mum takes out Sadaqah everyday. She does the voluntary before the Obligatory. My dad did take out Zakah for what his earnings. But he hasn't given for his savings :( Evrytime I talk to him about it we have an argument. I just don't wanna always think well you're going to get punished with it and live with the thought :(
I think you should refer to an Imam/Mufti about it. None of us can give you a clear cut answer. I would have added something from my own, but I'm already facing an opposing opinion here discussing it with my wife. ;D
Get in touch with the imam of your mosque, and ask him whether Zakaat applies to savings as well. That should solve your problem. :)
