Money 07

Former EMT fire engineer John Wall, who retired in November 2016, saved $208,145 toward a pension over 36 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wall would collect as much as $3.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Wall received $81,083 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Wall will have already received $250,618 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
