"BTW, the advent of loans from 401(k)s have impacted the "savings" to be had from 401(k)s. I worked for a large US custodian with 15,000 retirement plans and was amazed at how aggressive people are with taking loans from their retirement plans, especially the lower-wage earners who probably need to be saving the most. Many of them treated the account as a checking account, take the money out and then default on the loan and taking the tax hit associated with it (ordinary income and 10% penalty). Not a financially savvy move, IMHO. <g>"

It is hard to draw meaningful conclusions on the group of people who will buy lotto tickets or go to Las Vegas rather than save.
