Hi laksdoddi1
you dont really need to have money in your account if your income is enough: Accordlying to the uscis website theres an Income requirement: "You must show that your income is equal or higher than 125% of the US poverty level for your household size" - Your household size includes you, your dependents and any relatives living with you AND the immigrants you are going to sponsor, in this case your parents.
Lets say my household size is of only two people and my husband is the sponsor for my greencard, accordlying to the "2010 poverty guideline" his (sponsor) household size is Two and he Must have an income equal to or greater than $18,213
PS: Just type "2010 poverty guidelines 125%" on google and you should be able to find the table that lists what your $need to sponsor your parents
 
Thanks!

Thanks a lot. This reply helped me a lot. I am above the poverty line..the income should n't be a problem..thanks!
