  • Americans Cut Retirement Target to $1.2 Million, 401(k) Loans Jump 59%
    July 16, 2026, 8:01 AM EDT. Schroders says Americans now aim for $1.2 million in retirement savings, down from $1.28 million last year. The cut points to tighter household budgets, not cheaper living costs. More are tapping workplace 401(k) plans for loans-up 59% this year, reaching 27% of workers-mostly to pay down debt. At the same time, 27% said they have reduced plan contributions, which could slow retirement account growth. Half expect to retire with less than $500,000, up by 3 percentage points, with worries over healthcare, housing and utilities rising. Investors moved more money to cash, now 26%, while equity allocations fell to 27%, showing caution about stocks. Deb Boyden at Schroders said higher living costs are forcing people to make tough choices on saving for retirement.
