You could also just use a system where you reset your starting cash
flow date and balance at the beginning of every month. Every month,
you would reduce your cash flow balance by the amount your "saved" the
previous month, but this seems like a lot of extra work just to avoid
having a bucket accumulate your savings.

Personally, I prefer to physically transfer money into a separate
account for long term savings and assign the transfer to "Savings" so
it drains the bucket. I use a separate MoneyWell document to track how
the balance in my long term savings account is divided between various
goals so those buckets don't crowd my main MoneyWell document. For
short term savings that I don't want to bother transferring back and
forth, I just move it into a Income bucket named "Buffer" so I don't
spend it unless needed.
