You need to show proof of savings. The last 12 months of bank statements showing the amount. If the money is in a foreign account you'll need to indicate how much is in the bank in US dollars.

Proof of earnings or savings is NOT required for the I-130 petition.  It will be required for the I-864 affidavit of support to be submitted at NVC stage, after the I-130 has been approved.

Correct.  And, to understand how to use savings, become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions.  Do that ASAP, to avoid uncomfortable surprises.  Your savings will need to exceed three times the required income.
