If you need to save it so that other people can see it or that it will be saved between sessions, than yes, it is more difficult than a normal issue because it means altering the database and making custom SQL queries and associated code both to save the text and read it back later, as well as the php code to handle it and the associated template edits needed to display it. It is not an "easy" task.
It might be a little easier if you can store the data as a custom user profile field, would mean no database altering is needed but depending on who enters the text and who is supposed to see it could be fairly involved. Can you give more details- what type of text? Is it custom for each user? Is it a message you are giving that everyone will see?
