Very well said, I was going to say almost the same.
Not storing 'treasures up on Earth' means (to me) to not value physical/Earthly possessions as your treasures, to put things of true importance ahead of the things of the earth. So what i'm saying is that i don't see that as a prohibition of having stuff saved up, but rather making what you've saved the most important aspect of your life.
